2023 Theme: Educating for Contemporary Mission
March 17, 2023
8am to 2pm
Gateway Seminary

Ontario, CA 91761-8642
The intersection of education and mission produces a maze of models and practices. From the many pastors’ conferences conducted each year around the globe, to short-term discipleship and leadership development processes utilized by missions sending agencies, to legacy institutions grappling with curricula, the maze grows deeper and more complex. Add into this mix, advances in globalization, urbanization, and technologically-driven educational platforms expedited by the responses to COVID, and the maze goes virtual as well.
