Spiritual Formation
Forming and shaping children through what we teach.
You can participate live or at your convenience by listening to the live stream, keynotes, and workshops. (The Conference recordings will be available through January 2026.)
“But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.”
— 2 Timothy 3:14-15
