Our Vision

At Christian Educators and Teach 4 the Heart, we share the same vision.

We believe that teaching is an important calling and that God has you right where you are for a reason.

But that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

Challenges abound, the enemy seeks to discourage us, and we feel alone – sometimes struggling to see exactly what God is trying to do on our campus.

That’s why this virtual summit was created – to encourage and equip Christian educators in both public and private schools.

To bring us together and create a community around our shared goals and mission.

And to raise up a generation of teachers and educational leaders who will step out in faith and embrace God’s heart for their classrooms, students, and schools.

Join us!

YES, I'm Ready to Rise Up!

FAQ

Here are answers to some frequently asked questions:

Is the summit really free?

Yes! You can watch all the sessions for free anytime throughout the weekend of Summit: October 17-22, 2024. If you’d like to keep access after the weekend, you may purchase the All-Access Pass.

Can I find out more about the sessions?

We'll be releasing more details about the 2024 sessions as we finalize the schedule.

Why are the dates listed in two ways?

The Rise Up Summit is comprised of two types of sessions which can be viewed during overlapping windows:

  • ON-DEMAND Sessions can be watched any time throughout the Summit from October 17 - 22.
  • LIVE Sessions will occur the evenings of October 17-19. 

All-Access Pass holders may continue to watch after the summit ends. Get more information about the All-Access Pass here.

Can I get a certificate for PD credit?

Certificates of attendance will be available for all-access pass holders ONLY as these are the only teachers for whom we can verify attendance at individual sessions.

We are an approved PD provider for both ACSI and AACS.

In addition to that, we have a partnership with MidAmerica Nazarene University.

Certificates of attendance for each session attended can also be submitted to your school or district for potential PD credit.

What about summit merch?

Merch for this year is still in the works...but we do know that All-Access Pass holders will get a $5 credit on Rise Up merch!

Last year, we partnered with Hope Outfitters to get our Summit participants the official Summit "Be Light" shirt.

Can my school pay for me to have extended access to sessions?

Yes! Your school can pay for an All-Access Pass on your behalf! 

Simply print and submit the forms below to your administration based on the school setting in which you teach.
