Join River Rocks Church as we host the North Georgia Biblical Education Conference, a gathering where local parents, educators, ministry leaders, and other passionate believers unite to explore principles of biblical education in a variety of contexts. With representation from public schools, private Christian schools, hybrid Christian schools, and homeschools, this event is designed to foster meaningful conversations across several educational settings.
Are you a parent looking to get started in homeschooling? A parent looking for private Christian school options? A public school teacher trying to remain faithful in a secular setting? Whatever your background, we have sessions aimed at edifying all those involved in the ministry of Christian education.
Participate in four main sessions, and choose three of our twenty-one breakout sessions. Hear from knowledgeable local speakers, all while strengthening your Christian foundation and encouraging biblical educational practices in any context. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with like-minded parents, teachers, and ministry leaders in your area.
This event will be highly educational and it is recommended that children are not registered so parents can get as much from the conference as possible. Due to limitations of space there will be no childcare available.
* Scholarships are available – please contact admin@riverrockschurch.com for more information.
