Convention
Every year, in September, GACS presents our Christian Educator’s Convention. We have already committed for both 2023 and 2024 to, once again, join with the associations in North Carolina and South Carolina to form the “Southeast Christian Educators’ Convention” at the Convention Center in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
The conventions also provide the opportunity for businesses to connect with our schools and support Christian education. Each event hosts an exhibit hall where dozens of companies offer their goods and services for the benefit of our schools.
One Administrator shares his appreciation for the conventions with the following:
“After 30 years of successful operation, we realized that changes were taking place in education more rapidly than we were. Needing to move to a more 21st Century model we began a 3 year plan to re-tool our entire school program.
Being in the GACS has given us a broad range of relationships across the State who “In a healthy way” have given us critique, ideas, and tools for this transition. The Conventions, Conferences, and Workshops provide interaction with peers and other professionals at official and unofficial levels to challenge and help us to know we are not alone in our endeavor.”
School Registration
You and your faculty are invited to participate in this year’s Educator Convention. We are planning on a great time of refreshment and learning as educators from all over Georgia gather to participate in workshops and general sessions.
2024 Southeast Educator’s Convention registration information will be coming soon!
Each year, the GACS hosts a Pastor and Administrator Seminar at Mikado Baptist Church in Macon, GA. This is a wonderful time for the leadership across our ministries to come together to fellowship with one another, have some beneficial professional development, meet with applicable vendors, and be encouraged.
This year, our P/A Seminar will be on Tuesday, May 14th. It will begin at 9:30am. We will have a catered luncheon, and then will conclude the day with our GACS business meeting (beginning at 2:00pm).
This year’s featured speakers will be:
Paul Smith – Citizen Impact USA
Jim Boyte – Active Defender
Dr. Jeff Kahl – Northland Camp
