  abstract: The primary purpose of this study was to determine the self-reported educational orientation (SREO) of ministers of education (MEs) in local churches and to see if there is a correlation between their SREO and that of the teachers of adult Sunday School classes under their guidance. If a correlation is found, it might indicate that, to the extent that the MEs learned andragogical principles, to that extent those principles are being passed on to the Sunday School teachers of adults under their guidance. Three research questions were postulated. The first asked if there was a correlation between an ME's SREO and that of the teachers under his or her guidance. The second sought to find correlations between the SREO of MEs and their gender, age, education level, teaching experience (religious or otherwise), or training in adult education. The third sought correlations between the SREO of teachers and the same six variables plus in-service training provided by the ME. The Pearson product-moment and point-biserial correlations were used. A coefficient of 0.28498 (p = 0.0001) indicated there was a definite but small correlation between the SREO scores of the MEs and those of the teachers under their guidance. A correlation was found between SREO and the gender of the ministers (r = 0.231; p = 0.0424). Female MEs were more andragogically oriented than their male counterparts. Positive correlations were also found between SREO and years teaching youth (r = 0.32458; p = 0.0048) and years teaching children in Sunday School (r = 0.23902; p = 0.0389). Generally speaking, the more experience ministers had in teaching youth or children in a Sunday School setting, the higher their SREO score. Finally, a negative correlation was found between teachers' SREO and age (r = -0.27558; p = 0.0001). The younger teachers were more andragogical than the older ones. A negative correlation was also found between SREO and years teaching adults in Sunday School (r = -0.153; p = 0.0217). Those w…
