Equip gatherings are simple—but they’re doing something rare.
Each month, rural pastors and ministry leaders gather to pray, open God’s Word, and encourage one another to stay faithful. What begins around the table often continues long after—men texting one another during tough weeks, meeting up to talk through challenges, and standing together when it gets hard.
Some come discouraged. Some come unsure if they can keep going. But what they find is clarity, conviction, and brothers who won’t let them drift.
You’ll leave with:
Biblical tools to strengthen your preaching and leadership
Encouragement from others who know the weight you carry
A growing network of men who are committed to seeing rural churches thrive
These gatherings are growing—and we’re praying they’ll multiply until every rural region has a hub where faithful men can be equipped and strengthened.
Interested in Hosting Equip in Your Community?
We’re building a network of Equip gatherings across rural America. If you’re a pastor or church leader who wants to bring faithful training and gospel partnership to your region, we’d love to help you get started.
We’ll walk with you through:
Identifying a core group of leaders in your area
Choosing a strong location and rhythm
Providing resources, guidance, and ongoing support
The goal isn’t just connection. It’s health, strength, and longevity—so your church, and others near you, can thrive for the long haul.
