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.

Our free, 20-course curriculum tools in 32 majority world languages, are turning homes, sanctuaries, cafés, and even shade trees into locally governed, locally structured, and locally financed theological classrooms.

We Distribute

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.

CONTACT US

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!

LAUNCHING
NON-FORMAL
TRAINING PROGRAMS

We are developing a network of trainers around the world, whom we serve by providing regular online coaching. As God provides, we will make Global Training teams available for ministries who ask.

Why Shepherds Global Classroom?

Shepherds Global Classroom (“SGC”) exists to serve underserved pastors and Christian leaders around the world by providing a unique curriculum for the multiplication of indigenous, informal, and non-formal Bible schools and seminaries.
