What is Equip?

Christians are called not simply to believe in God, but to live every part of life with God. During EQUIP 2026, we will explore how covenant theology helps us better understand the story of Scripture, find assurance of our salvation, receive and rest in God’s grace and forgiveness, and faithfully live the Christian life. Together, we’ll consider how understanding God’s covenant promises shapes the way we read the Bible, relate to God, and walk with Him each day.
