What is 'TEE'?
‘TEE’, which stands
for Theological Education by Extension, is an effective but low cost system
of learning and training within the local context, modelled on small groups
led by trained tutors – compared, for instance, with the expensive and
non-localised option of college courses.
SEAN's TEE materials are directed for use at 'grass roots' level - that is
Christians in the local church, or 'every-member ministry' - to equip all
God's people to be effective ambassadors for Jesus, society-changers,
missionaries in the world, in the neighbourhood and in
the all-important world of work.
TEE programmes aim to provide, from the scriptures and guided by the Holy
Spirit, the tools, materials and structures needed for realistic in-service
training of members and leaders of local congregations. Through this they
grow and mature in their faith as well as discover and develop their gifts;
thus they are able to exercise a more effective ministry, and the Lord is
glorified - both in the church and in the world.
