ASSESS MINISTRY SUITABILITY
Our first level training is Foundations - a free 2-hour information session where you can explore the RI context and understand the landscape in which it operates. Then, take time to prayerfully consider your calling and commitment to this ministry. You may like to observe an RI class across different grades and schools as part of making an informed choice.
3
DISCUSS REPRESENTATION
The legislation requires that your church pastor authorise your RI involvement. Discuss your ministry intentions, request your Blue Card be linked to the church, and fulfil any church-specific requirements such as Kid Safe training. Once you've satisfied these requirements, contact us to begin the next phase - your training and accreditation.

TRAINING FOR A UNIQUE CONTEXT
Gospel ministry in Queensland public schools requires a customised training program that addresses the specific compliance requirements of this setting. Our training aligns with Department of Education guidelines and focuses on delivering age-appropriate, church-approved content. Volunteers are discipled to communicate the gospel clearly and confidently, while ensuring the ministry is protected from scrutiny.
Religious Instructors don’t need prior teaching experience, but they do need to be clear about their calling. We are entrusted with sharing the Word of God with children whose parents have requested Christian faith education. It takes integrity to consistently invest effort over time; to persevere when disruptions inevitably come.
As we serve in schools without personal gain or direct connection - building trusting relationships with students -our presence becomes a living witness to Christ’s love and care within the school community. It’s a profound privilege—one that highlights why our commitment to serving them matters so deeply.
This is why its vital to prayerfully consider God's calling upon your life. It's between you and Him.
Importantly, we are not training professional teachers. We are equipping Christians with practical tools to be effective ministers of the gospel in a secular context. Whether you’re a career teacher, a parent, a kids’ church leader, or someone who’s never stepped into a classroom, our program is supportive and achievable.
You won’t be asked to deliver lessons until you’re confident and capable—we walk with you every step of the way. This is the heart of our organisation: standing shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow Christians, discipling and encouraging one another to fulfil this shared calling.
