Equipping is a process and pathway of (1) Establishing your inner belief system (2) Healing your inner person (3) Developing the basic attitudes and skills needed for ministry and service (4) Ensuring that you can effectively team with people. The goal of equipping is to so build up the body of Christ that, "The whole church, the community of all the saints together, is the clergy appointed by God for ministry to and for the world." A sermon by Steve Fry.
