Dr. Schultz has given his life to educating future generations according to God’s plan for the past 55 years.  He began his involvement in education as a chemistry teacher and coach at Gowanda Central School in New York.  After 5 years of teaching in public school, Glen entered the field of Christian school education, where he has served the Lord ever since.  He has been a teacher, coach, high school principal and superintendent during his tenure in Christian schools.

For the past 8 years, Dr. Schultz has given his full-time attention to training the next generation of Christian educators on a biblical philosophy of education through Kingdom Education Ministries.  In 2014 he completed 9 years serving as an associate pastor at Sherwood Baptist Church and Headmaster of Sherwood Christian Academy.  Prior to this, Glen directed the Christian school and homeschool work at LifeWay Christian Resources in Nashville, TN for 9 years.  He served as the Association of Christian Schools International Southeast Regional Director for 7 years prior to his work at LifeWay.

Glen is the author of 3 books Kingdom Education™: God’s Plan for Educating Future Generations, Understanding Kingdom Education™: A Challenge for the Home, Church and School, and Applying Kingdom Education™: Following God’s Instructions for Educating Future Generations. and several parenting booklets including Home Invasion, Shepherding, 20/20 Vision and Contaminated Water.  He has conducted seminars throughout the United States and several foreign countries.  He also serves as an adjunct professor at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.  Dr. Schultz is the founder and director of Kingdom Education Ministries (www.kingdomeducationministries.com).

Q

Dr. David M Piccolo has worked in the field of education and leading for almost, 43 years. He has led both private and public schools and was recently a program coordinator and associate professor of leadership at Palm Beach, Atlantic University. He currently is an educational consultant for Christian Educators Association International, as well as a mentor for teachers and principals at Grand Canyon University. He clearly understood the call to do more for God’s kingdom in 2007 when he left his job as area two superintendent to become the leader of Merritt Island, Christian School, and a member of the church staff. This move led to God doing an incredible work in his life in both ministry and Christian teaching and preaching. All this led up to his ordination as a minister of the Gospel in May of 2016.

Q

Pastor Jeff graduated from Calvary Chapel Melbourne School of Ministry and received the call to plant a church in 2012. After much prayer and multiple visits to Georgia God revealed that they would be planting a Calvary Chapel in North Georgia. His passion for Biblical Education has come out of a radical conversion as a young man where the Lord opened his eyes to the truth of God’s word not only unto salvation but also as a source of truth for science to philosophy to world view and to all other pursuits. Pastor Jeff takes a strong stance against the current stream of worldly philosophy that has invaded our culture and desires to see families built up in the scriptures. Pastor Jeff and his wife Jessica have 3 kids and intentionally raised their children so they are not of this world but are lights in this world.  This passion for parenting and educating their own kids has developed a passion for Biblical Education. Pastor Jeff constantly exhorts Christian parents take full responsibility for the education of their children regardless the method they chose for their family.   This same passion also provided for the founding of the North Georgia Biblical Education Conference which is designed to encourage parents, teachers, and other educators, from all systems of education, to come together and develop a personal responsibility for the discipleship of the children that have been placed under their trust.

Q
