Becoming a New Church Teacher
Are you seeking a fulfilling and useful career? Do you like to learn?
One of the hallmarks of a New Church school is teachers and students each looking to the Lord as He is revealed in the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the Heavenly Doctrines. The New Church educator is charged with organizing lessons in a way that helps students see the Lord — His love, His wisdom, His leading. Each discipline is taught in a way that reflects something of the Lord's love and wisdom while creating a foundation for understanding deeper spiritual concepts later in life.
According to the Rt. Rev. Peter Buss, "We want to work together with the Lord Himself in guiding our children's minds, so that He and the children's souls, and the truths of the Word and the truths of nature may be in harmony....The education of our children in the truth — any truth, whether natural or spiritual — if done with gentleness and the sphere of mutual love, bears fruit beyond our wildest dreams." (June 2004 International New Church Teachers' Education Conference)
