Overview of The Equipping Series
While the Discipleship Series focuses on educating Christians in the core teachings of the Christian faith, the primary goal of the Equipping Series is to educate men and women to evangelize non-Christians, to disciple Christians, and to develop Christian leaders within their spheres of influence.
The Equipping Series consists of discussion documents that you can use to train leaders—both inside your church (your current and aspiring leaders) AND outside your church (such as pastors in your city and region).
The broad categories of training include:
Core Documents
The Book of Acts and The Apostolic Cycle
The Letters to Timothy and Titus
Church-based Evangelism and Missions
Church-based Discipleship
Counseling in the Church
Applied Biblical Studies
Implementation and Evaluation
For each document, distribute the web link or hard copies at least one week in advance. Encourage your current and aspiring leaders to read the document before coming to the leadership meeting.
When you come together:
Pray
Read Aloud the Bible Passages in Bold that are Cited at the top of the Document
Read and Discuss the Questions at the Top of the Page
Discuss Ways to Implement One or More Concepts from the Document in Your Church
