How does Jesus show up in the classroom? The 2026 CSC Conference invites Christian educators and leaders to explore “With: Incarnational Education in Canada Today” with theologian and pastor Revd Dr Sam Wells. Through a rich progression of teaching — from the first night’s sermon “God on Fire” (Exodus 3) to two keynote addresses, “Before the Foundation of the World” and “Making Christ Present” — Dr Wells will guide participants into a deeper understanding of how the very heart of Christian faith lies in God’s desire to be with us. Together, we’ll consider how this incarnational vision shapes our calling as educators: to make Christ’s presence known in classrooms, communities, and the daily life of our schools.

Keynote Sessions

How Does Jesus Show Up in the Classroom?
Sam Wells

1. First Night Sermon: Exodus 3: God on Fire
   The sermon aims to inspire the attendees by rediscovering the heart of Christianity in the depth of God’s desire to be with us.

2. First Keynote: Incarnational Education
   The lecture introduces the notion of being with, roots it Christologically, and outlines what it entails in eight dimensions, before making connections with education today.

3. Second Keynote: Before the Foundation of the World
   The lecture recentres Christianity from an instrumentalising of God to fix our human guilt and mortality problem to a realisation that being with is the nature of the Trinity, and being with us is the purpose of incarnation, reason for creation, and eternal destiny of humankind; and hence the goal of education.

4. Third Keynote: Making Christ Present
   The lecture explores profound ways the Holy Spirit makes Christ present in world & church, classroom & home, characterising the educational process and the joy of teaching.
