Dear Parents,

We are excited to share that MCA will be hosting the Minnesota Christian Schools United Conference on Thursday, October 16!

This special development event will bring together 12 Christian schools, 11 sponsors, and offer 29 breakout sessions, all designed to strengthen, inspire, and unite Christian educators.

Our keynote speaker, Jeff Keaton (founder/chairman of RenewaNation) will challenge and encourage educators through sessions focused on “Battling for the Hearts and Minds” and “Vibrant Christian Schools.”

Jeff’s leadership and passion for biblically grounded education has impacted schools nationwide, and we are honored to welcome him to Maranatha.

Thank you for your prayers and support as we prepare to host this meaningful day with Christian educators from across Minnesota.

Blessings,

Deb Larson-Jarpe, Head of School
