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.
Our History
Over 15 years ago Kelly and Lindsay built a friendship around the common love of the Bible and theology. Then, Jesus led them both down very different paths. Lindsay spend years in hiddenness though she had a deep desire to teach the Bible publicly and Kelly spent years in the public eye though she had a deep desire to stay hidden. They encouraged one another to follow Jesus, even when it was hard. You can learn more of their story here.
In 2018, they were invited to participate in a teaching cohort in their church and it was an instant game changer. After their experience, they launched a pilot program for women that included 6 participants teaching the Bible, then receiving group feedback. The result was 6 women confident in handling the scripture who could teach in a clear and compelling way.
Over time, Teach Equip evolved and took on a more formal class structure so participants could learn how to study the scriptures, how to write messages and apply them to audiences. Students learned to navigate the unique treasures and temptations teaching brings while practicing their craft with personalized coaching.
Today, Teach Equip offers classes that shepherd the heart of a teacher, give women a strong hermeneutic of the scripture and tools for the practical “how” of communicating.
