ASSOCIATION OF CHRISTIAN TEACHERS

Today, ACT membership is open to all Christians who work in - or care passionately about - education in England. With around 1, 000 members, ACT is one of the largest and most influential national Christian workplace associations in the UK.

ACT is a member of the Evangelical Alliance, the European Educators' Christian Association (EurECA) and the Institute of Fundraising.

ACT is called to serve and glorify God by serving, inspiring and equipping Christians working in education.

ACT seeks to inspire all Christians in education confidently to live out their faith day by day, term by term … positively influencing the culture, values and spiritual environment of their place of work and, ultimately, transforming the nation for the Kingdom of God.

What does ACT do and how can it help me?

• Prayer and fellowship ACT’s national network of local groups

encourages Christians in education to meet together in fellowship

to pray, praise, laugh, share and learn.

• Advice ACT’s staff and volunteers are on hand to give thoughtful

and prayerful advice on legal, professional, spiritual, moral and

ethical issues.

• Encouragement ACT’s website and membership magazine

provide an entertaining and edifying mixture of helpful information, practical tips and uplifting testimonies.

• Advocacy ACT’s work with policy makers, politicians and the

media helps to promote and safeguard Christian values in

education and wider society.

• Reflection and action ACT co-sponsors the Journal of Education

and Christian Belief (JECB) and strives to help Christians in

education reflect on, and apply, insights generated by cutting-edge

theory and research to their own professional situation.
