This session is designed for parents, pastors, and youth leaders searching for an affordable Christian college for their teen(s). Speakers include current SEU Ohio students who will share their personal stories and how SEU Ohio is transforming them through experiential learning and equipping them for their calling with deep spiritual formation.

As we reach our communities with the Gospel’s saving message of Christ’s redemptive work, and begin to disciple, we will, at some point, have to address The Fruit of the Spirit, which must be grown, and The Gifts of the Spirit which are immediate, as they flow out of the fullness of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Let’s not let errors of the past stop us from seeing God’s people experience all He has provided to build and edify His church. (OFJ Key Result Area: Seek the Spirit)
