We are called to share the Gospel, make disciples, and teach them to observe Jesus’s commands.
The Call
Ninety-five percent of Majority World pastors have no theological training or access to resources.
The Need
We work with Majority World partners to assist in training pastors, missionaries, and leaders.
The Work
In higher theological education, “formal” training refers to training that culminates in a degree, while “non-formal” training does not. At the Equip Institute, we intentionally operate in both modes. Regardless of format, all training takes place within a leader’s active ministry context and is guided by a three-member mentor team through a holistic journey of discipleship. While much of our training is non-formal, the Equip Institute is an official Contextualization Partner of Kairos University. When appropriate, interested and eligible individuals can pursue an accredited B.A., M.A., M.Div., D.Min., or Ph.D. program from Kairos University at minimal cost. Kairos University is accredited by the Association of Theological Schools and the Higher Learning Commission.
