Teach Equip exists to strengthen local churches by training local teachers.
We believe that local teaching is the most transformative form of Bible teaching. There’s nothing like hearing God’s word taught by someone you know, someone who can help you apply it to your particular circumstances and context. So why not have your own church members teach in small groups and Bible studies?
Often we hesitate because there’s no place to train teachers and let them practice. This is why we created Teach Equip: to train lay Bible teachers and provide them safe places to practice so that they are equipped to serve their local congregations with God’s Word. Let’s raise up local teachers in your church, together!
Our Distinctives
Faithfulness > Followers
The goal is faithful stewardship, not a growing platform.
Church > Celebrity
The gift of teaching primarily exists to strengthen the local church.
Exposition > Charisma
The church needs excellent Bible teachers more than great public speakers.
Partnership > Division
Being complementarian should foster partnership between men and women teachers, while preserving their distinctiveness.
Community > Isolation
Teaching the Bible requires a life of confession and repentance with other people.
How it all began…
Teach Equip began at Stonegate Church in Midlothian, TX.
Listen to Stonegate’s Lead Pastor and Teaching & Worship Pastor along side Lindsay and Kelly (Teach Equip’s founders) as they share how this program came to be and why complementarian churches need to train their women to teach.
This was a workshop held at the National Acts 29 Conference in Dallas, TX in April 2024.
