The King's Centre
We live in exciting times. God is doing a wonderful work in raising the issue of education in the minds of UK believers, and more and more Christian families are making the brave decision to take their children out of the government school system and educate them at home. Christian education is foundational to building a biblical worldview, and holding a right view of God and the world is our best hope for the next generation. We pray that this home education conference will be a sign throughout the land that there is a better way to educate our children.
This home education conference is for the experienced, the newcomer and for those who are “just looking.” There will be a range of talks from the practical to the theological, and our desire is that the teaching will encourage you in what you are already doing in the home and perhaps prompt those who are considering home education.
Besides biblical teaching, this will be a wonderful opportunity for fellowship with many other like-minded families from different parts of the UK. We are also thrilled to host a range of exhibitors so that you may find out more about different curricula as well as local networks and take advantage of the experience of those who represent their ministries and resources.
We look forward to meeting you at the Answers for Home Educators conference in Oxford on March 28.
