About UsThe Western Christian Educators’ Conference was founded in 1996 by a group of West Coast PC(USA) Christian educators who wanted to have a high quality conference to attend without traveling to the East Coast. Successors of this original group are continuing the effort. The conference was held each October at the Zephyr Point Presbyterian Conference Center at Lake Tahoe, Nevada, but is currently held at the Bishop's Ranch in Healdsburg, California.
In 2014, the Western Christian Educators' Conference rebranded itself as: PNEUMA:
The Spirit of Christian Formation The vision of Pneuma is to offer high quality continuing education opportunities to all persons engaged in educational and nurturing ministries; to provide a place where those who give so much can be refilled, renewed and recharged for their work; and to increase the professionalism and affirm the ministry of Christian Education.
