The Connecticut Association of United Church Educators

The gifts [God] gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13 (NRSV)

CAUCE

is the Connecticut chapter of the Association of United Church Educators, a diverse group of educators in the United Church of Christ who recognize that strengthening programs of Christian education and faith formation is essential to the vitality of our churches in the 21st century. To that end, CAUCE offers a meeting place for all interested people in the state of Connecticut to come together for support, training, networking and advocacy.

CAUCE serves as:

• an advocate for Christian education throughout the Connecticut Conference;
• a sponsor of training events for teachers, youth leaders, educators, and others involved with Christian formation;
• a source of research and information to churches and educators seeking guidance on compensation trends throughout our state;
• a link to opportunities for local, regional and national workshops.

A highlight of CAUCE’s work is an annual seminar, including keynote speaker and workshops, addressing a current topic of interest to educators. This annual gathering is a great opportunity to share ideas and support with other Christian educators.

Representatives

Each region in the Connecticut Conference is represented on the Coordinating Committee by a Christian educator or pastor who communicates with Christian educators in their association. See the CAUCE flyer for current listing of representatives.

Membership in CAUCE

All active Christian educators, youth workers, and clergy in Connecticut are members of CAUCE by virtue of their call or profession.
