COUNT DOWN TO CE METRO
Welcome to CE (Christian Educators) Metro
The CE METRO Conference is the annual gathering of Education Ministers, Discipleship Pastors, and Small Group Pastors from megachurches across the country to discuss ministry practices, interact with sponsors, and build relationships with like-minded ministers.
My prayer is that this year’s conference will be a time of encouragement, refreshment, and an opportunity for you to build lasting relationships with other ministers sharing similar visions.
Feel free to explore information on our conference schedule and sponsors. Once you join, you will have access to our directory and become part of ongoing connections through phone calls, emails, and text threads. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
It is my honor to host the 2026 Christian Educators METRO. I am excited to welcome you and your spouse at the Beach House in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
In Christ,
Jason & Marsha Hall
