Church & School Together in Ministry: A Leadership Lunch & Learn
Join Bishop Meghan Johnston Aelabouni and ELEA staff for an enriching professional development experience hosted by Abiding Hope Preschool, Kindergarten, and Nature School. Together, we’ll tour this innovative learning space and engage in open conversation about how congregations and schools can grow stronger in ministry together. We will also hear from Jennifer Bond, ELEA Insurance Benefits Administrator, on topics such as HR compliance, insurance options, and more.
This special event brings together congregational and school leaders—pastors, council chairs, school board members, directors, and principals—for a collaborative exploration of the vital connection between church and school ministry. Expect meaningful dialogue, practical strategies, and inspiration for strengthening your educational ministry.
As our guests, you’ll enjoy:
Networking with fellow leaders in Lutheran education
Actionable ideas for church–school collaboration
Helpful resources to take back to your community
Fun door prizes
A complimentary lunch sponsored by Thrivent
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn from peers, gain new insights, and be inspired by the shared mission of Lutheran schools and centers.
