EQUIPPING THE BODY OF CHRIST

SGC’s mission is to deliver free theological curriculum for the multiplication of indigenous, non-formal Bible schools and seminaries worldwide. This curriculum reflects biblical, orthodox teaching and a heart for evangelical unity.

Available in over 30 languages, our free, 20-course curriculum is turning homes, sanctuaries, cafés, and even shade trees into locally governed, locally structured, and locally financed theological classrooms.

We Write

We have developed a 20-course curriculum tool for non-formal theological training. SGC curriculum is Christ-centered, it is adaptable to various contexts, and it makes training reproducible. The curriculum reflects biblical, orthodox teaching, respect for various theological traditions, and a desire for evangelical unity.

We Translate

Our 20 courses are being translated into 32 languages. As of January 2024, all courses are available in English, Arabic, French, Mandarin, Russian, and Spanish. Additional course translations have been completed in each of the other languages. We desire to have all 20 courses translated into 32 of the world’s major languages by 2028. Other languages are also being considered.

We Distribute

We freely distribute the curriculum to leaders and ministry partners for use in formal, non-formal, and informal theological training programs. However, our curriculum is especially written for non-formal settings. We offer all curriculum to trainers for free in digital form (webpage and app) and grant local printing and distribution rights upon request.

We Collaborate

SGC is equipping pastor-trainers across denominational lines and in 47 countries (2024). Our role is to provide the curriculum tools that make locally governed, locally structured, and locally financed programs possible. We do not own, name, or control these programs.

We collaborate with mission organizations and with a broad spectrum of like-minded training ministries at home and abroad. We eagerly sign free printing and distribution agreements with churches and organizations throughout the world.

Anyone may freely download and print SGC courses. Still, we prefer to create a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for pastor-trainers who desire to print and distribute courses to a group. This allows us to assist trainers, receive constructive feedback, track growth, and share stories!
