Teacher Training Classes are monthly training courses provided free of charge to the public. These classes are designed to strengthen your teaching skills and provide ways to learn how to more effectively share the Word of God with children.
The classes consist of special subjects such as: How to Lead a Child to Christ, Lesson Preparation, Music, Missions, Discipline Within Your Class, and Assurance of Salvation.
Along with enjoying the fellowship of believers, those who attend see first-hand how Bible lessons and club time can not only be a joy to teach, but bring an eternal difference in the lives of the children that attend their clubs and classes. Teacher Training Classes are also offered to local churches.
Please check with your local county director to find out more about Teacher Training Class in your county.
