About Barnabas
Barnabas Schools Ministry began in the early 1990s when delegates at a conference of religious educators felt the need to encourage one another in their specifically Christian ministries in schools. It was this shared desire to encourage best biblical pedagogy in the teaching and learning of the Christian faith that brought about the Barnabas conferences.
The name Barnabas means “son of encouragement” (Acts 4:36), and the Barnabas conferences seek to encourage those in Christian school ministry to continue to find good ways to promote the truth, beauty and goodness of the Christian faith in a shifting cultural landscape.
