Teach Equip exists to strengthen local churches.

There is so much Bible teaching happening outside of the walls of the local church. And while that is helpful, 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. This is why we gather each Sunday with our congregations. But we’d love to see all Bible teaching become more local. From small groups to Bible studies and events, why not have your own church members do the teaching, rather than relying on videos and outside teachers?

One reason we don’t do this is because we have no place to trained 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.

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.
