Welcome to CEAI. It is my pleasure to introduce Christian Educators Association International to you. Our mission is to "serve the educational community by encouraging, equipping and empowering Christian educators serving in public and private schools." We are the only professional association for Christians who are called to serve in public schools. Our members have served the youth of America since 1953 through classroom teachers, administrators, and para-professionals in education.|

CEAI is a non-profit religious association with a Membership Service Center in Westlake, Ohio. Our support is through memberships, tax-deductible donations and grants. CEAI membership consists of teachers, administrators, para-professionals including any person hired by a school district. In addition, we offer associate membership to parents, pastors, school board members, youth leaders and others concerned or interested in the education of our children.

Our mission guides our focus in serving Christian Educators and in pursuit of this we:

  • Proclaim God's word as the source of wisdom and knowledge,
  • Portray teaching as a God given calling and ministry,
  • Promote educational excellence as an expression of Christian commitment,
  • Preserve our Judeo-Christian heritage and values through education,
  • Provide a forum on educational issues with a Christian world view.
  • Partner with churches, parachurch organizations, educational institutions and parents.

Our Statement of Faith
As a professional Christian association, we promote Christ likeness in our work. We believe in:

  • One God eternally existent in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,
  • The Bible as the inspired word of God,
  • Christ, the Son of God, His virgin birth, His miracles, His vicarious atoning death for our sins, His bodily resurrection and His return,
  • The need and reality of spiritual conversion by the Holy Spirit through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ,
  • The ministry of the Holy Spirit Who enables us to live a godly life.

The greatest treasure one generation passes on to the next is its accumulated knowledge, wisdom and values. This transfer occurs primarily through three great institutions:

HOME
God has given parents the ultimate responsibility for their children's training and education. CEAI encourages parents to be active and informed participants in the academic process.

CHURCH
 The church must play a vital role in the education of our children. CEAI assists local churches and denominations to explore ways they can become involved in public education as an expression of their community life.

SCHOOL
 Never has there been a greater need for Christian educators to instill moral and ethical values in children than exists in today's society. CEAI equips teachers and administrators to respond in professional and legally appropriate ways.

Paul writes in I Corinthians 12:12:
"For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ."

Simply put, together as one body, we can ensure that our children receive the Lord's best in education, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually!

WELCOME TO CEAI!
