The world's largest children's church movement — discipling, equipping, and deploying a generation of faith-filled world-changers across 198+ nations since 1982.
The Directorate of Teens & Children Education (DTCE) was established in 1982 as the children and teens ministry arm of The Redeemed Christian Church of God. Founded on an unshakeable premise — every child matters to God, and every child must matter to us.
DTCE has never operated as a department. It is a divine mandate — a calling to raise, guard, and grow a generation for Christ across every culture, every continent, and every tongue.
Today, DTCE coordinates through a seven‑tier global hierarchy, touching over 500,000 children and teenagers every single Sunday — from Lagos to London, New York to Nairobi.
DTCE's reach spans 198+ countries across all 12 RCCG continents. Every Sunday, in every timezone, a teacher stands before children and points them to Jesus.
To be the leading global children and teens ministry — raising up a generation that is rooted in Christ, grounded in the Word, and bold enough to change the world for God's glory. From every nation, every tribe, every tongue.
To disciple every child and teenager through excellence in Sunday School, equip every teacher with world-class training and resources, and deploy a generation of faith-filled world-changers for the great commission.
Pursuing the highest standards in Christian education, curriculum design, and programme delivery — in every parish, on every continent.
All teaching and learning anchored in the Word of God and trust in Jesus Christ — the foundation of everything DTCE does.
Creating a safe, warm, nurturing environment where every child feels valued, seen, and deeply loved by God and by us.
