Trauma-Informed Christian Educator™ Certificate Program

Equipping Teachers. Empowering Disciples. Transforming Communities.

Why This Program?

Christian education is about more than delivering lessons — it’s about shaping lives. But what happens when learners carry invisible wounds into your classrooms?

Children, youth, and adults often sit in Sunday School or Bible study silently struggling with:
– Divorce or family instability
– Grief and loss
– Bullying and identity struggles
– Poverty and instability
– Abuse or trauma

Trauma affects the way people hear, process, and respond to God’s Word. A perfectly prepared lesson may never reach a heart that’s been walled off by pain.

That’s why this program exists.

What You’ll Learn

The Trauma-Informed Christian Educator™ Certificate Program equips pastors, teachers, and ministry leaders to:

– Recognize how trauma impacts learning, behavior, and discipleship.
– Respond with biblical wisdom, not just reaction.
– Build safe, Christ-centered learning environments where healing and growth can happen.
– Integrate trauma-informed practices into teaching, mentoring, and discipleship.
– Strengthen your church’s ability to minister to the brokenhearted without compromising the Word of God.
