Methodology for educating church school teachers must be varied because church size, context, and demographics differ from church to church. In this essay, I suggest coaching as one methodology of church teacher education. Coaching, which could be regarded as a type of informal education, can be an effective teaching methodology for the teachers’ education regardless of church size. This essay discusses various definitions of coaching, six principles of effective coaching, and reflection on coaching based on a biblical perspective. Strategies for the coaching process have been suggested for a practical application of coaching in the church context. First, this paper suggests a general coaching process for educating church teachers (church school teacher education) that consists of four steps: self-awareness, goal setting, action planning and goal implementation, and reflection and feedback. Second, peer coaching through observation is suggested. Experienced peer church school teachers may form a coaching team and lead the coaching process through observation. A coaching team may execute the process by setting specific goals for peer coaching, deciding on the type of coaching process, explaining the coaching process to participants, executing observation program, and finally discussing and providing feedback to the teachers.

소개
한국에 복음이 들어오고, 교회가 설립된 것은 19세기 말이었다.
해방이 되면서 한국교회는 더욱 발전하게 되었고 그에 따라 기독교교육의 중요성과 필요성도 강조되게 되었다. 그러한 과정에 기독교교육을 전공한 학자들이 귀국함에 따라 그들을 중심으로 한국기독교교육학회를 결성할 필요성을 느껴 설립하게 되었다.
한국기독교교육학회의 설립 목적은 기독교교육학의 이론적 발전과 실천을 위한 연구와 장을 확대해가려는 것이다. 그리고 학자들간의 연구교류와 교제를 위한 장을 마련하기 위하여 본 학회를 1960년에 설립하였다.
