Beyond the Classroom: Discovering your God-Given Dream
We are excited and honoured to host Christian High schools from Lower Mainland to The Dream Again Conference: High School Pre-conference Event. The event is geared towards encouraging youth to start dreaming, keep dreaming, and identify their God-given dreams that the Lord has planted inside of them. We know that, developmentally, this is a time when youth are exploring interests, and identifying strengths, giftings, and talents. Some may be in the application process, while others may be beginning to ask the question: What is my purpose? How do I pursue the dreams that the Lord has given me? While the options are limitless, our hope is to ignite a fresh fire that helps steer students into what God has ordained for them.
High School & Career Focus
This year, we are launching a new component of our two-day Dream Again Conference- a half-day focused on ushering students into discovering and pursuing their God-given dreams. Christian school students from across Surrey, Langley and the Tri-cities are invited to take part in learning that their dreams have no expiry date.
High school students are beginning to explore various career life development conversations and we believe it is essential that a spiritual component is interwoven into these moments of growth. Through both the speaker and breakout sessions, we aim to integrate components of the BC curriculum, as it pertains to Career-Life Education for grades 10 to 12. There will be opportunities for students to assess, reflect and dialogue about their God-given dreams. We desire for students to explore and conceptualise how to practically walk into those opportunities.
We understand the heart and desire of Christian educators to see young people grow into disciples of Jesus in all spheres of life. As scripture speaks, one man plants another waters, but it is only God who makes it grow (1 Corinthians 3: 6-7). Our hope is that this workshop partners with your school’s mission to plant and water seeds in the lives of young people, to see them grow in their God-given identities and reach their God-given potential.
Goals
Our goal for the half-day workshop is trifold:
Develop awareness of their personal strengths, competencies, values, and passions;
Partner with your school mission to teach and instil a biblical world and life view;
Build community through gathering and communicating collaboratively with others.
The following is an outline of the schedule for the day. After the message, we will have a 45-minute break for lunch. Students are welcome to bring their own lunch, however, lunch will also be provided. Schools will be divided into groups and attend smaller breakout sessions, based on various topics. Please note that the schedule is subject to some minor changes.
