“For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”EPHESIANS 4:12 (KJV)

TELEIOS is a parachurch organization rooted in the Great Commission. We serve the body of Christ by partnering with churches and Christian training and education programs to help them implement high-impact, sound, and missional frameworks for making disciples and training ministers.
Churches: discipleship pathways and ministry training that follow believers from their first steps in Christ into service.
Bible colleges and training programs: sound, ready-to-teach courses with books and video lectures for classroom, hybrid, and online study.
The Greek word teleios describes something that has reached the goal for which it was made. The King James Version usually renders it “perfect.” The New Testament uses it of believers who have grown up in Christ, mature in their thinking and able to take solid food.
1 Corinthians 14:20 · Ephesians 4:13 · Hebrews 5:14
“…which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.”Colossians 1:27–28, KJV
That is the vision of TELEIOS: to see every believer made complete in Christ.
TELEIOS is a parachurch Christian education and consulting ministry. Our mission is to help fulfill the Great Commission by enabling people at every level of Christian life and education to gain the instruction, answers, experience, and guidance they need to use their gifts to serve Christ anywhere.
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”Matthew 28:19–20, KJV
The Great Commission is the foundation of everything we do.
From the baptismal waters to the classroom, TELEIOS materials serve the whole life of the church: worship, study, fellowship, care, and the training of leaders.
TELEIOS materials are built as one continuous spectrum. They follow a believer all the way through a chosen path, whether ministry training or service in the local church.

Churches and associations can sponsor their pastors.
Ask about the trackSix sessions, each with a short video lesson, a leader’s guide, and discussion questions, so a pastor or lay leader can teach with little preparation.
“…be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you…”1 PETER 3:15, KJV
Each week opens with a question, a short video, and plenty of time for discussion. Drawn from Apologia, Volumes I and II.
Ask about Ready to AnswerChoose any unit of a TELEIOS course or church module, and we will provide it free for one class or group for one term. There is no cost and no obligation.
Request a free pilotEach course can be taught on its own or as part of a sequence, in the classroom, online, or in the local church.
A twelve-module discipleship journey for church-based formation. Each session combines biblical teaching, a Scripture focus, personal reflection, group discussion, practical application, and memory work. A companion leader guide equips pastors and lay leaders to facilitate.
Every believer interprets Scripture; the question is whether we interpret it well. Readers learn to discover what the biblical authors meant by asking the right questions about history, culture, author, audience, genre, and words, and then to read each passage in light of the whole Bible.

TELEIOS resources are designed to strengthen an existing curriculum, not replace it.
A video lecture for every course book, chapter, and unit, ready for online and hybrid programs or for students reviewing on their own.
A student text with an instructor’s edition: teaching notes, homework, assessments, rubrics, and semester schedules.
Any chapter or unit on its own, as an assigned reading or a supplement to a course you already teach.
Help planning a course sequence, a program schedule, or a discipleship pathway for a church, institute, or school.
Every program receives a pricing guide tailored to it, and any program can start with a free pilot unit. When you write, tell us how you plan to deliver the material (print, digital, or video) and which Bible translation your program uses.
J. Anthony Myers is a pastor. He has served as a lead pastor, a discipleship pastor, and a worship pastor, and his heart is to see believers grow complete in Christ.
Alongside that pastoral work he has written and taught college-level courses in hermeneutics, New Testament, Greek, systematic theology, and comparative religion. He writes the TELEIOS courses for the classroom and for the local church he knows firsthand.
In more than a decade of teaching theology, Bible interpretation, and New Testament Greek in the classroom and from the pulpit, he has spent thousands of hours with diverse groups of learners, which has given him rich experience as a teacher.
Students learn to reach conclusions from the text of Scripture. Where Bible-believing Christians differ, each position is presented fairly before students are led to the conclusions the text supports.
“The Church does not need less theology. It needs theology that is biblically faithful, accessible, and transformative. In Theology for Kingdom Ministry, J. Anthony Myers brilliantly demonstrates that theological depth and practical ministry are not competing priorities. This is a compelling resource for those who desire not simply to know more about God, but to know Him more deeply.”
