What is The Collaborative?
The Collaborative is a half-day event designed for Christian educators in Minnesota to connect, learn, and engage in meaningful collaboration. This gathering brings together school leaders who share a commitment to faith-based education, offering a space for networking, professional development, and discussions on the most pressing topics in Christian education.
What to Expect:
- Networking & Connection – Meet and engage with other Christian education leaders who share your mission and challenges.
