This is an event done in partnership with TeachBeyond.

Equip the next generation to lead with truth and courage.

Every year, students across Europe come to the Student Leadership Conference (SLC) searching for something deeper: truth, purpose, and the courage to live for Christ.

And every year, God meets them.

“Worship and main sessions helped me see truth as something to live, not just know.”

Now, for the first time, we are preparing to bring this experience to the United Kingdom.

But we cannot do it without you.

A Week That Changes Lives

At SLC, students don’t just attend sessions—they encounter truth, build community, and begin to lead.

In 2025 alone:

  • 320 students participated over 2 weeks
  • 47 schools were represented in hand-picked student leadership teams
  • Dozens of nations connected in Christ-centered leadership training, relationship building and strategic planning activities

Students consistently describe:

  • deeper faith
  • new courage
  • a clearer sense of calling

“This week helped me see how real truth applies in daily life.”

“Meeting people from other countries made me feel part of a larger family in Christ.” For many, this is a turning point.

 

The Need

Not every student who should attend SLC can afford to come.

And launching a new conference in the UK requires:

  • upfront event costs
  • scholarships for students
  • support for schools with limited resources

Without funding, students will miss this opportunity.

 

The Opportunity

You can help bring a student into a life-changing experience of:

  • biblical truth
  • spiritual growth
  • Christ-centered leadership

“I began to understand people more deeply and saw how faith connects us.”

Why This Matters Now

For more than 25 years, SLC has equipped thousands of students to live out their faith.

  • Nearly 6,000 students impacted over time
  • A growing demand across Europe
  • A new opportunity to reach students in the UK

This is not just another event. This is the multiplication of leadership rooted in God’s truth.

 

A Growing Movement

Students leave SLC with:

  • confidence to lead
  • conviction rooted in Scripture
  • connection to a wider Christian community

Students report “greater confidence to lead and serve in their schools.” And they carry that back into:

  • their schools
  • their churches
  • their future vocations

Pray

Intercede for the students, teachers, and organizers preparing for this event. Pray that God would go before SLC UK 2026 just as He went before Joshua — and that every student who attends would leave stronger, more courageous, and more certain of their calling.

Framing Our Teaching with a Biblical Worldview

What is education for?  For educators, there is perhaps no more important question than this one.  Our answer defines what we believe our profession is about and frames the way we teach and how our students learn.  For Christian educators, our understanding of the purpose of education needs to be framed by a Biblical worldview. 

Insights from Christian School Leaders - part 2

Survey insights reveal that while Christian schools across Europe hold strong mission convictions, sustaining alignment in daily practice requires intentional leadership structures. This article explores key needs such as teacher formation, mission-informed decision making, and regular rhythms of strategic reflection.

Insights from Christian School Leaders - part 1

At IELC 2026, school leaders from across Europe participated in a short survey designed to explore a simple but important question: How closely do our daily practices reflect the Christian mission we profess? The responses provided a valuable snapshot of the current reality in many European Christian schools. Several clear themes emerged that are worth continued reflection and demand that we work together to strengthen our schools and their impact across our region.

Course Offering - Foundations of leadership

Foundations of Christian School Leadership is an eight-week online formation course that guides school leaders from the convictions that shape a their identity through the governance, curriculum, financial accountability, and communication systems that give those convictions institutional form arriving at a final week focused on sustainable, integrative leadership rooted in the leader's ongoing formation in Christ.
