equipping u

Wednesdays during Spring Midweek
Haywood Campus
This ministry is designed with your spiritual growth in mind. Following Paul’s instruction in Ephesians 4, we desire to “equip you” to be a fully devoted follower of Jesus after connecting with Him. The word “equip” means to become complete or fit for a purpose. Because we desire to be a church of disciple-makers, you are invited to join Equipping U to grow as a disciple-maker. In other words, this is a ministry to help believers go DEEPER and be commissioned into the mission of our church.
