LOUISVILLE, Ky. (KT) – The Kentucky Baptist Convention’s EQUIP 10-city tour through August and September begins Monday at Trace Creek Baptist Church in Mayfield.
“The goal of the EQUIP Tour is to provide helpful, practical training that will equip church staff, leaders and volunteers to serve their churches with confidence and with excellence,” said Steve Rice, KBC team leader for church consulting and revitalization.
Training with experienced church leaders will be offered in the following categories: Assimilation, Children’s Ministry, Cooperative Program, Deacon Ministry, Discipleship, Evangelism, Finance, Missions, Revitalization, Social Media, Students, Sunday School, WMU, Women’s Ministry and Worship and Music.
It's the perfect opportunity for pastors to look to their own church leaders and encourage them to attend an EQUIP training session, Rice said.
“When I served as a pastor, I always tried to take a large group of volunteers from my church because I knew they could receive excellent training, and we would have good fellowship coming and going to the event,” he said.
For this year’s EQUIP Tour, all KBC teams are participating along with the WMU.
Ten training locations across the state will be available. The conference is on weeknights with the doors opening at 6:00 pm at each location.
“With 10 locations there will be least one EQUIP Tour stop within driving distance of every church in Kentucky,” Rice said.
The sites are:
Monday, Aug. 16, Mayfield (Trace Creek Baptist Church)
Tuesday, Aug. 17, Bowling Green (Hillvue Heights Church)
Thursday, Aug. 19, Walton (Walton Baptist Church)
Tuesday, Aug. 24, Corbin (Central Baptist Church)
Thursday, Aug. 26, Crestwood (Crestwood Baptist Church)
Monday, Aug. 30, Elizabethtown (Northside Baptist Church)
Tuesday, Aug. 31, Russell (First Baptist Church)
Thursday, Sept. 2, Richmond (First Baptist Church)
