'Living and Leading in Tough Times'

The EQUIP 2023 Conference – Online & In Person!

“Who among the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you— majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders? You stretch out your right hand, and the earth swallows your enemies. In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling.”

Exodus 15:11-13

When the going gets tough, the tough… keep following Christ. The call to discipleship is always an invitation to service, struggle and sacrifice. So it’s valuable to hear from those who have been faithfully pursuing that long obedience in the same direction .

EQUIP 2023 promises to be a memorable event designed to inspire, inform and encourage all those in our Churches who are seeking to live for Christ in the heat of the battle.
