Ministry isn’t just theory—it’s people, preparation, and perseverance.
WELCOME TO MBU’S FIRST ANNUAL EQUIPT EVENT—A CHURCH WORKERS CONFERENCE
DESIGNED TO HELP YOU SERVE YOUR LOCAL CHURCH MORE EFFECTIVELY.
Do you ever find yourself wanting to serve well in your church, but are weary in the work or unsure about the next step? Equipt is designed to help.
Through biblical teaching and practical workshops, you’ll gain useful tools and fresh encouragement for your role. Just as importantly, you’ll be reminded that our work in the church involves utter reliance on God for both strength and fruit.
Join us on campus for this one-day event and be equipped to serve with greater clarity and confidence—because faithfulness in small things builds strong churches.
We are laborers together with God.
1 Corinthians 3:9
Ministry is not meant to be done alone. Scripture reminds us that we are laborers together with God—working according to His calling on our lives and in partnership with our local church.
