EQUIP are ministry classes for adults.
We want to give people at The Fellowship Church an opportunity to develop a deeper love and passion for God. We will do this through a combination of higher level learning and experiencing the presence of God through spiritual exercises. Growth in a relationship with Jesus requires personal commitment and a willing heart. Our desire is to see lives transformed and passionate leaders formed. Staying true to our mission to reach people for Christ, and help believers grow to be like Him, we want to continue to grow and equip our church family. Scripture inspires us "to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ." - Eph. 4:12.
