Greater Dayton Christian Educators Network

Problem:

It's difficult for many teachers to bring their faith to work.

Public school teachers and administrators who follow Christ often lack supportive community and content to navigate the tensions, stress, and pressures that come with caring for our kids.

Solution:

Create a thriving network of Christ-following educators - refreshing, empowering, and equipping them to best care for our kids and other teachers through the Love of Christ.
