Equipping Institute Level 1:
Building an Equipping Church

Attend the Equipping Institute Level 1...and be prepared to hit the ground running when you get back!

The Equipping Institute is not your typical training event. You'll be surrounded by people who care about ministry and leadership--people just like you. It's a time for spiritual renewal, for in-depth discussions, and to build a how-to plan for becoming an equipping church.

While you're here...

• Build a "success map" to implement upon returning home. 
• Help shape tomorrow's conversations concerning church leadership. 
• Sample strategic innovations taking place right now. 
• Find answers to the challenges you face in leading others. 
• Develop a new network of ministry peers-people you'll be able to turn to in the coming years.

Through the 10 workshop tracks, you'll get...

• An in-depth assessment of your church's culture and your leadership style
• A complete understanding of the core equipping ministry support systems
• A vision and implementation plan for building gift-based ministry teams
• An implementation plan to raise the equipping quotient at your church
• Answers to your burning questions such as, "Does this equipping thing really work?" and "How do I reset my churches organizational structure to an equipping-based structure?"
