Building a Kingdom School Institute

June 17-19, 2009 • Nashville, TN

Christians are engaged in a fierce culture war for the hearts and minds of future generations. Children are under attack from all areas of the culture. It is critical that Christian schools partner with parents to provide their children with an education that enables them to think and act from a biblical worldview.

The key to success for every Christian school rests on their ability to know, understand and operate from a biblical philosophy of education. The Building a Kingdom School Institute assists school leaders in establishing a kingdom-focused school that helps students survive our postmodern culture. Unlike any other conference, the Building a Kingdom School Institute distinctly and specifically focuses on helping Christian schools develop the philosophy and plan they need to ensure a Bible-centric stance permeates their own educational program.

This year marks the eighth year that Glen Schultz and Larry Taylor have conducted this valuable training for Christian school leaders. The Institute continues to grow and offer greater insight on what it takes to build a school where a kingdom education philosophy permeates the major influencers of a school’s culture. Join us for this unique, 3-day training event.
