A Leader’s Journey: The Problem You Face
You feel called to lead, but the weight of leadership can be overwhelming. You’re constantly juggling ministry responsibilities, developing leaders, and keeping your church engaged, yet it still feels like the same few people carry the load.
A Lack of Equipped Leaders
Too often, the same few people handle everything in ministry. Without a system for equipping leaders, growth stalls, and responsibilities overwhelm the core team.
Unclear Leadership Pathways
Many churches lack a structured process to train and release new leaders. Without clear pathways, potential leaders remain unengaged, unsure of their role, and ministries struggle to expand.
Low Engagement
Church members may attend services but hesitate to step into leadership. Without intentional development and empowerment, they remain spectators rather than active participants in ministry and community impact.
The good news? You don’t have to do this alone.
The Guide: Equip Cohort Provides a Proven Path Forward

Success Stories: What Leaders Are Saying
“I have never been a part of a class that produces so many results. By not only learning about our team’s five-fold gifts found in Ephesians 4 but also being challenged to put them into practice, Equip has led to many personal and team-wide breakthroughs. It’s like our team has been given a shot of confidence and momentum.”
Dr. Ryan Savage
Executive Pastor, Rock Church ME
“When I took the Equip course, I was challenged to understand the importance of the Church and the Five-Fold ministries explained in Ephesians 4. This understanding led me to see my specific role in the Kingdom and understand the heart and giftings behind the ministries utilized in and through the church.”
