Trinity Welcomes Urban Schools Conference

Trinity welcomed guests from area schools to the Urban Christian Education Collaborative Conference July 30 and 31. The conference brought together leaders from urban Christian schools for networking, presentations, and facilitated discussions.

The Center for Christian Urban Educators (CCUE) is a collaborative effort of both Trinity and the Bright Promise Fund (BPF) for Urban Christian Education. BPF enriches Chicago and its neighborhoods through schools of character, conviction, and achievement by providing new and sustaining sources of revenue for affiliated Christian schools.

Following a welcome and general session address of encouragement, Becky Starkenburg, vice president for student life, represented Trinity in greeting conference guests.

Highlights of the event included presentations such as “Framing the Issues” and “What are your top three goals for the next 3-5 years?” Both were facilitated by Harriet Potoka, director of the CCUE. She also closed the conference with prayer.
