TEE Aotearoa, Te Hapori Akonga (Learning in Community) is an interdenominational group of Christian leaders committed to making theological education accessible to diaspora, Māori and Pākehā churches in New Zealand.

Our goal is to increase Bible literacy, enabling people to come together to discover practical ways to follow Jesus in their everyday lives.

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 given to developing the 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.

We relate to the INCREASE network across Asia and beyond. We also connect with SEAN, a global network offering TEE resources in many languages.
