Education As Mission Conference
Victoria, BC
We aim to inspire, compel, equip, and connect the body of Christ towards a greater understanding of and commitment to education as mission.
“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” — Proverbs 22:6
What is the Education as Mission Conference?
The Education as Mission Conference is a one-and-a-half-day gathering in Victoria, BC for parents, church leaders, and educators who believe that discipling the next generation is a vital part of fulfilling the Great Commission. Through inspiring keynote speakers, breakout sessions, and panel discussions, the conference presents a compelling case for biblical worldview training and Christ-centered education as essential tools in today’s cultural and spiritual battle. Attendees will gain awareness of Christian educational options and support systems, be introduced to a clear, actionable roadmap for engaging both at home and in the church, and be equipped to launch or strengthen educational initiatives that honour Christ.
