Save the date for the APCE Annual Event!

The 2027 APCE Annual Event will be held in Portland, Oregon from January 27-30, either in-person at the Marriott Downtown Waterfront or via Annual Event Online. Each day, we will look at different questions we ask ourselves about how we do the ministry of Christian education, moving through the breath, sinews, flesh, and spirit of this collective ministry in the world we live in.

Join us to explore “Can These Bones Live?: Rediscovering What Matters.”
