2021 Capital District Christian Education Conference
Greetings from Presiding Elder Johnny R. Calhoun & First Lady, Reverend Patricia Calhoun We greet you with Jesus’ joy and hallelujah praise! Welcome to the 2021 Capital District Christian Education Conference (CEC). It has been designed and organized to be impactful and engaging. Our primary aim is to glorify the LORD beyond measure. We pray that it will have a positive and enriching impact upon all the teaching ministries of your church. “Study to show thyself approved. A worker needs not be ashamed. Rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 Christian Education is a vital component of our faith. Teaching the fundamentals of the Bible and its practical application, is the purpose of Christian Education. Inspiring believers with the stories, promises and truths in the Bible, while empowering the Body of Christ with the wisdom, understanding and knowledge found in the Word of GOD. Promoting a life-long commitment to reading scripture, while establishing the importance of studying the Bible as a spiritual discipline and doctrine for Christian discipleship. We need to first thank GOD for our Episcopal leadership - Bishop James Levert Davis & Mother Arelis Davis. Their example and standard of excellence have continually inspired us to exceed expectations. Let me express my appreciation to all of the teachers and participants, without which, today would not have been such a great success. Also, we are so thankful for an amazing team who put in the work to make this year’s CEC a successful gathering. Rev. Karen Myers, our Christian Education Director, led the team. Along with Rev. Lauren Harris, Sis. Francine Wilson, Rev. Aaron Myers, and Revs. Andre & Roxanne Parson. A special shout out to my Executive Assistant - Rev. Alicia Hudnall, for her technical and administrative support. Well done! To GOD be the glory, for the great things He has done! Yours in Christ, Rev. Johnny R. Calhoun, Presiding Elder Rev. Patricia R. Calhoun, First Lady
