What is EQUIP?
EQUIP is a lay training initiative of Trinity Theological College. EQUIP courses are designed with lay Christians in mind and offer theological education for Christians who desire to be well equipped to live out their faith in Jesus Christ and for effective and faithful ministry. EQUIP courses offer a range of topics in systematic theology, biblical studies, missions, church history, ministry, and current issues.
These courses are engaged at depth by EQUIP instructors that include both TTC faculty and other guest lecturers, all of whom are highly qualified subject matter experts in their fields. Consequently, many of our own alumni and other pastors, Christian ministry staff, missionaries, and lay leaders also attend our courses for their own continuing education.
EQUIP Evening Courses (Online), Workshops (In-Person) and Other Initiatives
EQUIP offers four evening courses (online) and one workshop (in-person) every quarter. Each EQUIP evening course (online) runs for seven weekday evenings (Mon-Thu; 7.30–9.30pm) via Zoom. Each EQUIP workshop (in-person) runs for three Saturday mornings (8.30am–1pm) at TTC. EQUIP participants who take our courses and workshops for credit and for our certificate programs need to complete a written assignment of 1,500–2,000 words. EQUIP courses and workshops are open to all Christians and there are no formal or academic entry requirements.
EQUIP also organises other initiatives from time to time. These include special lectures, seminars, workshops, conferences, webinars, podcasts, and other special events.
