Communicators for Christ, a group of widely respected public speaking coaches, encourages and trains students to use communication to share the hope that we, as Christians, have in a hopeless world. To that end, we offer public speaking and debate conferences, workshops, and summer camps, as well as a Chapter Program, achievement competitions, leadership training, and curriculum.
Among many and diverse opportunities, Communicators for Christ helps both beginning and seasoned forensics competitors more fully develop and fine tune their skills. A dual emphasis on both the value of competition and the greater purpose of communication distinguishes Communicators for Chris. Our conferences and programs provide debaters with training and inspiration. We encourage conference participants to be the best competitors they can be, and we provide them with the tools they need to reach that goal. We also stress that competition itself is a means to a greater goal, and we strive to show students the practicality and necessity of applying communication skills in community settings. Find a conference or Chapter near you at www.communicatorsforchrist.com.
