Every child learns differently – some through words, others through movement, music, visuals, or relationships. For teachers, understanding these learning pathways is essential to reach every student, make lessons more engaging, and help biblical truths come alive in practical ways. Together we’ll discover simple strategies you can apply in your classroom to unlock each child’s God-given potential.

As we walk with teens, we see the challenges they face—questions of identity, struggles with faith, and family hardships. How can we come alongside them, share in their burdens, and encourage them to follow Christ wholeheartedly? How do we equip them not only to grow as disciples but also to disciple others? In this workshop, you’ll discover practical ways to walk alongside teens, strengthen their love for God, inspire them to serve, and empower them to lead the next generation.

This session will provide practical strategies for supporting students who are experiencing a crisis.

Finally, participants will engage in interactive practice with real-life scenarios to apply these tools in meaningful and relevant ways.

Let’s have a moment of honesty here. When you have questions in life, where do you go first? Do you ask the Holy Spirit…or do you turn to ChatGPT? What did your parents do? What do your students do? This Workshop will be about understanding the difference between the Holy Spirit and AI, and how we can practically seek God to help us in our classrooms.

The importance of a wholehearted relationship with God when mentoring teens. 

What makes ministry to teens effective? What is the most important thing that teens need? What does a leader's heart have to look like, to be able to make the biggest impact on a teen's life? This workshop will share how to effectively reach the hearts of your teens in order to build the right foundation for their future life as well as ways to become friends with your teens and be someone to whom they can open their hearts.

The phrase "Speak to me, Lord, I am listening" reflects a deep yearning for spiritual communication and guidance. It embodies an openness to hear God's voice, an invitation for divine insight. However, in today’s fast-paced and noisy world, many find it difficult to truly listen to God. There are several obstacles, especially gadgets that can hinder us from hearing His voice, but there are also practical steps we can take to overcome these barriers and cultivate a deeper connection with God.

Spiritual maturity is not the number of hours spent in prayer or the number of times the Bible is read, although all of these are certainly considered important means for achieving spiritual maturity.

Spiritual growth of a teacher is continuous development in the formation of the character of Christ and maximum likeness to Christ. Spiritual maturity is manifested in the number of spiritual battles won, in the ability to endure stress, inconveniences and suffering, in the weight of the responsibility taken upon oneself and worthily fulfilled, in acquiring the qualities for the constant cultivation of disciples around oneself, as Christ did, in sacrificial self-giving “from heart to heart”.

How can you be sure your lesson truly connects with every child in your classroom? One of the most important factors is maintaining strong student engagement and effective classroom management. In this workshop, you’ll explore proven strategies that capture attention, reduce distractions, and foster a positive, Spirit-led environment where hearts are open to God’s truth. Join us to be both inspired and equipped to confidently navigate the various challenges that may arise during your Sunday lessons.

Our students live in a world where answers are only a click away — Google and AI seem to have it all. But what makes your Bible lesson stand out? The calling of a teacher is not just to inform, but to transform. We are entrusted to teach God’s Word in the name of Jesus and with the power of the Holy Spirit, so that the spirit, soul, and body are touched. This workshop will equip you with the key elements to move beyond giving answers for the moment and instead empower your students to discover God’s truth for a lifetime — handing them the fishing pole, not just the fish.

Too many times I have heard teachers refer to themselves as JUST a teacher. We often look up to pastors, evangelists, and those on a big platform as the stars in our community. We fall short of the realization that the work you put in behind closed doors reaps great benefits. We need to realize that there is nothing simple about what we do as teachers. The pastor or evangelist who is out there spreading God's word was once a student in someone's Sunday School class. Think about that for a moment. We are all part of the body of Christ and one part of the body is no greater than the other. We all work together for God's glory.

The session will address common barriers that prevent students from disclosing their experiences, provide guidance on recognizing behavioral and emotional indicators, and outline evidence-based strategies for prevention and intervention. Designed for parents, educators, and caregivers, the workshop emphasizes the importance of collaboration in fostering safe, supportive, and responsive environments where every child feels heard and protected.

Every child in your class learns differently – and as a teacher or assistant, you can help every student connect with God’s Word in meaningful ways. In this session, we will explore Universal Design for Learning (UDL) – a simple, practical framework that helps you engage every learner by offering multiple ways to connect, learn, and respond.

How can I create effective and interactive lessons? How can I spark students’ interest in the material and make them look forward to the next class? In this seminar, we will focus on answering these questions. We will also hear important tips, ideas, and methods for structuring lessons that help achieve maximum engagement and active participation from students. As teachers, we set the tone for the entire class, and this process begins already at the planning stage. Children thrive in environments where there is structure, and if we plan lessons accordingly, we will see that they become much more engaged.
