Our Misson
The mission of The Center for Equipping is to cultivate a mature and mobilized Church by training believers for the work of ministry. Guided by Ephesians 4:8–13, we empower the body of Christ to walk in unity, maturity, and the fullness of the five-fold ministry gifts and each individuals anointing, gifting and call. The Center for Equipping functions as a participatory ministry—providing a place for other ministries and ministry leaders to engage, collaborate, and join in the shared mission of equipping the Church for the work of ministry on a regional basis.
Our Mandate
Our mandate is to equip the Church, both leadership and membership, with the skills, abilities, training and resources necessary to effectively use their individual and collective spiritual giftings in excellence. We equip believers who are called into five-fold ministry and activate them into their calling. We train believers both academically and practically in the gifts of the Spirit.
We have gathered five-fold ministry leaders regionally for the purpose of supporting local bodies and leaders, in order to advance the Kingdom of God here on earth.
Through that regional leadership, we provide support for the local churches and the growing house-church movement. We train leaders to plant house churches in their region.
Our mantle
The primary mantle placed upon this ministry is the mantle of a prophet. As such, all ministry activities are carried out with a prophetic anointing. However, as the ministry leadership, we seek to maintain, within our community of counselors, each of the five-fold ministry anointings, believing that all five are necessary to effect a balanced ministry. We believe that with the full force of the five fold anointings at hand, we are able to equip the Church in every area of her ministry. As such, there will be no geographic or denominational barriers to the available equipping, for the purpose of this equipping is that we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. We have gathered five-fold ministry leaders regionally for the purpose of supporting local bodies and leaders, in order to advance the Kingdom of God here on earth.
