EQUIP ministry wives

Being married to someone in ministry brings unique blessings and challenges. EQUIP ministry wives is a non-denominational conference designed to encourage women married to anyone in any type of paid gospel ministry.

Conference theme.

Identity is the word of the decade. Identity Politics, My Identity, and even Identity in Christ. It's what makes us what we are, and what makes us different from others. What does the Bible say about identity and how does it affect us as ministry wives? How does it challenge the way we think? How does it challenge the way we act and relate? How does it help us?! This is the topic of our decade that we need to get right.
