Education is another form of community care.
Happy Acres provides space where people can teach, learn, practice, ask questions, develop skills, and share what they know with others.
Classes and educational gatherings may include continuing education, professional development, wellness education, life skills, ministry teaching, workshops, community learning, and hands-on experiences.
Teachers and educators aren't simply invited to use a room.

A MINISTRY OF BREATHE EASY SPEAKTEASY
Learning + Education at Happy Acres is an expression of the religious, charitable, and educational ministry of Breathe Easy SpeakTeasy (B.E.S.T.), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit religious ministry.
Through classes, workshops, continuing education, ministry teaching, wellness education, professional development, and community learning, we create space for people to share knowledge, develop skills, ask questions, and grow together.
Education is another way we hold space for our community to grow and thrive.
You don't have to believe exactly as we do to be welcomed by us.
Pull up a chair. There's room at the table.
COME AS YOU ARE.
Come curious.
Come with questions.
Come ready to learn.
Come with something to teach.
Come by yourself or bring your whole team.
You don't have to belong to a particular denomination or share a particular background to participate in our community learning opportunities.
Some experiences are rooted directly in our ministry and Scripture. Others focus on professional development, wellness, continuing education, practical skills, or community enrichment.
Holding Space for Our Community to Grow & Thrive.

A Ministry of Learn • Share • Grow
Different subjects. Different teachers. Different reasons for learning.
One space where people are encouraged to grow.
