Greetings Imago Dei Church, it’s about that time for Equip to launch its second year! Equip is a discipleship training time that allows the Elders to get to know and begin equipping future leaders for roles that will take the gospel all over the world, and also to identify future Aspire interns.
Equip will hold monthly training meetings on Saturday mornings from 9:00am-11:00am. Through this program, the church seeks to train any aspiring church planters, pastors, missionaries (anyone involved in Going), growth group leaders, and church planting teams.
Our launch for the 2013-14 year will be on Saturday morning, September 7th at 9:00am at the IDC Building. Typically, we watch/listen to a sermon, or read an article on our own time and then having come in prepared, discuss the content in a large group, or in various small groups—followed by some teaching.
Here are a few questions we want you to be thinking about when we discuss the content:
• Give a brief summary of the content.
• Agreements? Disagreements?
• Why would IDC leadership want us to learn this?
• What are some implications for your future ministry (whatever context God has you in)?
• What will this look like in the life of the church (particularly IDC)?
Here are the dates we will be meeting for Equip in 2013-14:
• September 7th ; October 5th; November 2nd ; December 7th ; January – off; February 1st; March 15th ; April 5th ; May 3rd
Covenant members and prospective members, if any of you are interested in this and would like to be a part of Equip, please email equip@idcraleigh.com so we can you send you the necessary content because most, if not all communication will be via email. We look forward to working alongside you. Grace and peace.
