Making Theological Education Accessible to Diaspora, Māori and Pākehā Churches in New Zealand.
WHAT DOES TEE AOTEAROA DO?
TEE Aotearoa offers training for small group facilitators. A typical TEE Aotearoa Facilitator training is a 1.5 to 2-day hands-on workshop that includes TEE methodology, approach, and resources, along with practice sessions with the participants.
Special emphasis is placed on developing participants’ ability to facilitate discussion rather than “lecture” their study group.
Participants are encouraged to create an action plan for organising a new TEE study group in their location.
Tools to Equip and Empower (TEE)
TEE is a tried and tested approach to discipleship and leadership training that takes place in the local church with the goal of ‘every believer becoming a disciple and worker for Jesus’.
TEE originally stood for ‘Theological Education by Extension’ but is now also known as Tools to Equip and Empower. TEE material allows churches to disciple people in their heart language, in their location and in their context.

“Every believer is a learner and worker for Jesus”
TEE is used in a wide range of settings worldwide. In some places, it is used as a multi-year discipleship program within the local church to equip members for ministry. In emerging church contexts, accredited TEE programs train and equip local pastors. TEE’s goal is for every believer to be a disciple and worker for Jesus.
