Welcome to Training for Service

For over a century, Training for Service has equipped more than 1 million volunteers with this basic course and certification for Bible teaching. Ideal for those planning to teach Sunday school, serve as church leaders, or facilitate small groups, it is also recommended for anyone who just wants a Bible 101 course.

This site has been designed for anyone leading a Training for Service course. In addition to the contents of this site, the leader will need to purchase a copy of the Training for Service Leader Guide.

C.J. Sharp’s version was wonderful. The farther we get from that version, the less helpful the book is.

  Thank you for your comments concerning Training for Service. Revisions of valued books are done to keep the book relevant to the next generation and to incorporate information not available before. In the two major revisions since Mr. Sharp, sales have continued to be strong, indicating that the revisions have been well-accepted. Of course, Mr. Sharp’s version was a revision of Mr. Moninger’s original work. We hope that this new revision will be as helpful to most as past revisions have been.
  
  We want to publish the best books possible, so any specific suggestions or criticisms would be welcome.
  
  For those who would like Sharp’s revision, it is still available at this and similar sites: http://www.librarything.com/author/sharpcj
  
  For those who wish to go back to Moninger’s original, it is has been reprinted and is also available on Amazon.

I used C.J. Sharp’s Training for Service back in 1961 in the Zambezi Valley in Zimbabwe for my school teachers and evangelists. It was just the guide we needed then. I don’t see how you can improve on it.

Our “For Deeper Consideration” questions are meant to be more open-ended discussion questions with no one right answer. We encourage teachers to refer to their personal libraries and our selected bibliography in the book if they need to do further research.
