Vision: A people who know their God and make Him known.

Teaching Be-Held Children the law of the LORD that a future generation, that which will come through their loins, will hope in God and keep His commandments.  (Psalm 78).

Mission: To equip Sunday School Teachers to lead children in their local congregations to seek, live and be transformed-spirit, soul, and body-by the truth of God’s Word.

Our Teachers 

  • Agree with our Statement of Faith.
  • Accept all the claims the Bible makes about Jesus Christ.
  • Have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ because the high aim of teaching is achieved through modelling. 
  • Demonstrate how to live the truths about which they teach.  As Jesus said, “A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.” (Luke 6:40, CSB).
  • ​​Bear evidence of the fruit of the Spirit in their lives, as it will be their goal to instruct in truth so as to reproduce the character of Christ in those they teach. (Galatians 5: 22 - 23).

Our Teachers

  • Accept  the Bible as the inerrant Word of God.
  • ​Accept all the claims that the Bible makes about its authorship and purposes in history and the lives of believers. (2 Timothy 3: 16 - 17).
  • Accept the principle that the Bible interprets itself.
  • ​Believe that the Word of God is spirit and life and that blessed are those who do what He commands. (John 6:63, Proverbs 3: 5 - 7 and Revelation 22:14).
  • Read the Word of God. 
  • Love the Word of God on its own terms. That is, they must believe the claims the Bible makes about itself. Chiefly: “All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16 - 17, CSB).
  • Have a  daily habit of studying the Bible, 
  • Demonstrate an appreciation for the necessity of the Holy Spirit in their own understanding and teaching of the Word.
  • ​Have a great concern for obeying  the Word. 
  • Study for the sake of edifying others. 
  • Have a passion for seeing children’s lives transformed through the study of the Word.

Our Teachers

  • Accept the inherent worth of all people because God has made all humankind in His image.  (Genesis 1: 26).
  • Share God’s burden for the salvation of all people. (John 3:16).
  • Accept the ministry of reconciliation and demonstrate this acceptance through an intentional lifestyle of forgiveness in their relationships and intercession and outreach to those who are unsaved. (Matthew 18:22 and 2 Corinthians 5: 11 - 21).
  • Pray consistently for their students.
  • Demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit in their relationships with others. (Galatians 5: 22 - 23).​

Program Structure

Year 1 

Year 2
Selected Sunday School Teachers engage in year long interactive teacher training program, while immersed in the context of their local churches. Coursework is structured to facilitate consistent and strategic application of principles and skills within their local church communities, such that the entire teaching staff receives the opportunity to hone their gift and practice, and the wider-church community is made privy to structured opportunities to grow its Biblical literacy.
Participants who have completed year 1 receive induction support, with an EarthBasic Induction Leader, in collaboration with Teacher Leaders in local churches, differentiated professional development, to include S.M.A.R.T Goal setting, access to resources and instruction in strategies and practices to support goal attainment, quarterly observations by support team to assess progress, followed by specific and actionable feedback to spur teacher growth.

Participants also gain access to a 20% discount on EarthBasic’s current (at the time of induction) and future course offerings, as long as they can provide proof of continued and effective service in their local churches.  The program will also grant them access to the benefits EarthBasic will enjoy through current (at the time of induction) and future partnerships in the field.
