ABOUT US
Who We Are:
The 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 orginal group are continuing the effort.
In 2014, the Western Christian Educators' Conference rebranded itself as:
PNEUMA: The Spirit of Christian Formation
PNEUMA: The Spirit of Christian Formation
Moved by the spirit to broaden our perspective on Christian Education and Faith Formation to be more inclusive of the depth and breadth of faith formation. We have chosen a word for Spirit that symbolizes our engagement with God and the Word of God in new ways. We are the same people with a new name.
Vision Statement:
PNEUMA's vision 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.
