2016 Educators' Conference Highlights

Blessing, refreshing, needed, and challenging, were all words used by our delegates this year to describe our conference. With over 225 in attendance even with many who could not make it due to the snow storm, there were great opportunities for fellowship and networking. In addition to the main conference, we also ran a Pastor's seminar and Home Educator Seminar that were both well attended.  A special thanks to our key note and special speakers, Dr. Steve Pettit, President of Bob Jones University, Dr. Jim Tillotson, President of Faith Baptist Bible College and Ben Everson, well-known vocalist and muscian as well as all of our workshop leaders and sponsors for making this a fantastic and exciting conference.  God used these days together to advance His cause and purpose in and through us. We hope you'll plan to join us next February.  Stay tuned for the exact dates and theme.

We hope you'll enjoy the pictures and recordings below from some of the sessions.
