Leadership Resources to Empower the Local Church

The Empower & Equip Initiative exists to support the local church, and every local church is unique. That's why we're curating a broad collection of resources to support the life and ministry of the thousands of congregations found in rural and small town communities. This collection is focused on five areas of ministry support:

Spiritual Formation Resources - Helping congregations inspire spiritual growth, encourage deep relationships, and pass faith to the next generation

Leadership Equipping Resources - Developing leadership for the long haul

Theological Identity Resources - Renewing an understanding of the Restoration Movement as a unity effort

Community Engagement Resources - Casting vision for congregations in rural areas and small towns to serve as anchor institutions in their communities, known for their service to others

Stewardship Resources - Identifying best practices and tools for resource and asset management
