Benefits of Membership
Growing out of the Research Commission of the National Sunday School Association which began in 1947, NAPCE has developed into a major professional organization for professors of Christian education in colleges and seminaries, and for leaders in related Christian education organizations. NAPCE membership means valuable benefits for you.

1. Professional Growth and Development
Professional stimulation through research presentations, lectures, and dialogue with a sharing of ideas, syllabi, and resources for the teaching and research tasks.

2. Annual Conference
The highlight of the year is the annual NAPCE Conference, which is usually held the third week of October (Thursday - Saturday). Stimulating speakers, discussion groups, research in progress presentations, professional development seminars, and outstanding fellowship with other professors and leaders in the field of Christian education combine to make the conference a truly outstanding experience.

3. NAPCE Newsletter
The NAPCE Newsletter is published three times a year and includes news from members and schools, book reviews, announcements of key happenings in Christian education throughout the United States and Canada and articles from the officers of the association.

4. Christian Education Journal
Membership in NAPCE includes a year's subscription to the Christian Education Journal.

5. Student Scholastic Award
To encourage promising scholars and outstanding students in Christian education, members may nominate a student from their school to receive the scholastic award certificate in Christian education presented each year by NAPCE. Letters are sent to active members March 1st with the guidelines and requirements for this award.

6. Resources
Each year many publishing companies provide complimentary copies of books and other resources to those who are members of NAPCE. Many are given at the annual conference.
