Teachers Conference

Dates: 
Oct 12, 2018 to Oct 14, 2018
In October, Faith Builders hosts a weekend conference for K-12 educators. The Teachers Conference focuses on providing content and enrichment for long-term teachers serving conservative Anabaptist schools.

2017 Conference Theme

Our theme is one in a series on “Cornerstones of Anabaptist Schools.” As followers of Christ, we believe that life is to be lived in close, productive relationships with others. At a congregational level, we call this brotherhood. Brotherhood flows out of the teachings in Scripture that call our relationships to each other to be transformed by the work of Christ. Barriers are broken down between us, and we become family members when we enter God’s kingdom. Instead of looking out for our own interests, we look out for the interests of others (Phil. 2:4).

We believe our schools should also reflect this value of brotherhood, though it will be expressed differently than in the congregational context. In his presentations, Daryl Weaver (Ephrata, PA) will explore the scriptural foundation for brotherhood and its expressions in the school and classroom.

The capacity for this event has been reached and registration is now closed. Recordings of general sessions will be available from the Faith Builders bookstore after the event.
