Raising genZ. What Christian parents need to know. – Nov. 6, at Indiana and Nov. 7, at English Station

Every generation has its own nuances and traits with genZ being no different. However, this generation with the 24/7 access to technology is growing up in a world not seen or imagined before. Christian parents need wisdom, discernment and the will to day in and day out nurture young children, tweeners and teens. Let’s embrace our God given responsibility!

Join us November 6, at Christian Academy of Indiana or November 7, at English Station beginning each night at 6:30 p.m. in the campus auditoriums for parent sessions on the topic of meeting our kids where they are – genZ with Dr. Ellen Black from Liberty University.

Submit Nominations for the Christian Academy School System Board of Directors by February 10

The Christian Academy School System Board of Directors invites you to submit nomination forms for potential Board members who may be called to serve on the Board. As parents of Christian Academy students, you have the regular, personal contact with other parents that allows you to identify those whose hearts are committed to the purpose of Christian education, and who may be inclined to serve in this capacity.

The Committee would like to remind you to obtain approval from the individual before submitting their name as a potential Board member. This will help avoid nominating someone who may not have the time or inclination to serve.

Please review the nomination requirements on the nomination form and prayerfully consider those parents you’ve come to know over the past few years. The deadline for nominations is Friday, February 10, 2017.
