What We Do

Churches Education Commission has been providing CRE (Christian Religious Education) programmes to State primary schools throughout New Zealand since 1973. The CRE programme weaves together Bible stories with values set out in the New Zealand Curriculum. The Bible stories are used to illustrate and teach different values such as loving your neighbour, personal worth, courage, inclusion and forgiveness. Whether in a small group, large group or Champions programme, our CRE programmes are a fun, engaging 30 minute lesson which allows students to learn about positive Christian values and beliefs.

Core Priorities

Our core priorities are designed to assist each regional CEC office in New Zealand as they encourage, educate and equip CRE teachers to add value to their local school community.

Info for Parents

Parents have the right to choose what is best for their child. This is especially important in relation to what (if any) religious beliefs you as a parent are happy to allow your child to learn about.

Recommended Guidelines

CEC has regular interaction with many school Boards and Principals and has noted that many would appreciate some direction in forming their own policies around Religious Instruction. The following are recommended guidelines.

Code of Expectations

We have a Code of Expectations for our CRE teachers. We expect our CRE teachers and Champions Presenters to abide by this Code of Expectations at all times.
