Christian Education


The Christian Education Department supports church school directors, teachers, parents, and all who participate in the work of Christian education on the local level. The department fosters cooperfation, consistency, and interchange between local parishes and the Archdiocese. Each diocese, or region, has a diocesan coordinator available to assist parishes in organizing a church school and training its staff. The Resource Directory, a publication of the Education Department, covers many useful topics and gives information on how to find religious education materials, vendors, and publishers.


The Antiochian Archdiocese uses a church school curriculum published by the Orthodox Christian Education Commission (OCEC). Visit the Curriculum page for a listing of titles by grade and instructions for ordering these books directly through the Antiochian Archdiocese. For a more in-depth description of these texts, please visit the website of OCEC at www.orthodoxed.org.
