Welcome to--To Equip His People

Our ministry mandate from Ephesians 4:11 is to equip God’s people for works to better serve the Kingdom. The ministries of To Equip His People strive to facilitate, model and mentor effective Christian discipleship with teaching, training and experiences that foster a real intimate relationship with Jesus Christ and authentic love relationships with His church that will lead to greater effectiveness in His service and maturity in the faith.

11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers,
12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13

Our goal is to serve and help equip those God puts before us for works of service. Can we serve you?
