Rooted: Educator Worldview Summit 24’ - Save the Date!

June 24-27, 2024 - Black Mountain, NC

Some days it feels like secular culture is winning.  Yet, Scripture draws us back to a pivotal premise – God’s truth prevails. Even so, educators around the world are asking how to more effectively engage students in the spiritual formation journey and help develop deeper roots in the flourishing soil of a biblical worldview.  ACSI and the Colson Center have partnered together to offer a “worldview retreat” to answer this leading question and provide valuable resources for: a) developing a Christlike culture, (b) facilitating healthy faith formation, (c) providing tools to engage secular ideology, and expanding best practice around a clear and consistent application of biblical integration across all subjects.
