Lancaster, PA Conference
Join us in Lancaster, PA where Mrs. Elisabeth Jochum will help you gain practical strategies for nurturing young minds during her keynotes and two optional breakout sessions!
Educators have an eternal calling - to serve as anchors of truth, grounding the families and little ones entrusted to our care. Learn principles of truth that can anchor us and the children and families we serve. Apply these truths to pressing questions about healthy attachment, fear and anxiety, brain development, and challenging behaviors. Learn research-driven truth on the critical needs of the developing child’s brain and ways to counter a child’s fears. This transformative training will equip you to intentionally craft learning experiences that anchor every moment in biblical foundations.
⚓Opening Keynote - Stand for Truth against Damaging Lies
What fears are motivating this generation of parents? School leaders? Children? The early years of development are more critical to well-being than we ever realized! How can we make decisions based on the truth of Scripture and the facts of modern research? Let’s uncover the lies behind decisions that hinder young children’s growth and development! And let’s take solid foundational guidelines back to our schools and families that we can fight for!
⚓Closing Keynote – Secure Attachment is the Foundation
Do not plan to leave early! This highly interactive session will illustrate how healthy attachment is the key to both brain development and to addressing disruptive behaviors! Take home very practical and fun activities to start using right away.

Mrs. Elisabeth Jochum
Elisabeth attended Houghton College and West Chester University, earning a BS in Elementary Education, and teaching first grade at the ACSI school she attended herself. She and her husband spent 8 years on a church planting team in Indonesia, where Elisabeth taught a group of American kids (including her own 2 children) in a homeschool setting. She has 9 years of experience teaching preschool, and now works as a support consultant to parents and families who are in full time ministry overseas. Her desire is to see children be rooted and grounded in love, that they might know the love of Christ for them. (Ephesians 3:17-19)
