Equip is an informal training program that seeks to explore some of the key doctrines of the Christian faith from a distinctively Reformed perspective. We will be thinking about why they matter and what impact they have on our discipleship.
Who
Equip is for anyone, regardless of their age or role in their congregation.
Why
Now more than ever, those within our Presbyterian denomination need to know how to take Biblical truths and apply it into their lives. In an age when secular slogans hold a monopoly on what ‘truth’ is, we want to equip our members with how they can unpack these claims and communicate the gospel clearly to our society.
We see Equip not only as a way to upskill people but also as a safe place where fellowship and friendship can form and grow. Often in our congregations we can become siloed in the work of the gospel and it is our hope that Equip could be a place for Presbyterians to come along, engage with what we believe and have fruitful conversations with local brothers and sisters.
And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. (Ephesians 4:11-16)
