One of the great advantages of being part of a network of churches is that we can benefit from the gifts and skills of people not only in our own congregation but also those who serve in other churches across Adelaide. The equip training program is a great example of this broader benefit.
Equip runs on Friday evening March 23rd and all day Saturday March 24th and is a training resource that seeks to grow and develop Christian people from all walks of life so they are better equipped to serve and be a witness of the gospel. Equip offers a range of subjects, most of which involve eight 50 minute sessions. There are three pathways which cover the broad areas of Essentials, Ministry and Christian Thought and over the four Equip events in a 2 year cycle, over 30 different subjects are offered.
In March, the subjects being offered include Leading Better Bible Studies for those who want to be better equipped to lead others in Bible reading and study, Discipling New Christians, introducing people to the value and how-to of reading the Bible with new Christians, Kidwise Training, ministry training for Children’s Ministry leaders, Teaching Teen Ethics, for those who want to engage children and youth with thinking about worldviews and ethics, and The Big Picture, how the Bible fits together and many more.
As we grow to two Sunday morning gatherings this year, Equip in March is a great opportunity to get trained and stretched for some new ministry areas. Our growth will require lots of us to serve in new and different ways and I can’t recommend Equip highly enough as a way for people in our church to be equipped for the challenges ahead of us.
