Colossians 3:16
Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.
About the Conference
"The Teacher's Spiritual Life"
​
This conference is designed to educate and inspire teachers, future teachers, and church leaders who are committed to strengthening teaching ministries in their local churches.
Planned by a committee of teachers from across the ICOC in North America, this conference focuses on the spiritual life of the teacher—sharpening our biblical foundation, deepening our understanding of Scripture, and activating the gifts God has entrusted to us.
​
Together, we will explore practical strategies for building effective teaching ministries while cultivating clarity, confidence, and conviction in our calling. This is more than a conference—it is an opportunity to grow spiritually and practically as servants of the Church.
​
Open to anyone interested in the teaching ministry, participants may join in person or online for focused sessions, practical training, and meaningful connection with fellow teachers dedicated to building up the Body of Christ.
