Public Education: A Mission Field

Updated: Sep 26

Problem:

Public Education is a complex mission field. Workers who follow Christ often lack supportive content and community to navigate the tensions, stress, and pressures that come with caring for our kids in public schools.

Solution:

Catalyze a regional network of Christ-following educators to build refreshing and empowering community that best cares for our teachers and kids.

Strategy:

Create a Core Team who Prays and Plans together.
Continuously find and asset map Christ-following educators, administrators, champions, etc. throughout Greater Dayton by Filling Out This Form.
Host a simple beginning of school year worship celebration to pray over and support teachers at the beginning of the school year.
Help educators meet in small groups, or LIFT groups, throughout the year at their schools.
Host an Annual LIFT Gathering on a Saturday or Sunday evening from 5-8 pm.
- 9/22/24 was first LIFT.
- ___________ is second LIFT.
Host an Annual deeper full-day retreat-like experience called Awake.
- Heather Kohnen guides the team through a similar process. Looking at Spring 2025.
Host a simple end of school year worship celebration to thank teachers for their love.
