Equip Conference exists to equip disciples to make disciples.

To really Know Jesus, Follow Jesus, and Lead others to do the same. To ignite an every day disciple making movement.

In the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20), Jesus calls each of us to not only be disciples, but to make disciples! To make disciples in our homes, at work, and in our neighborhoods. But to do that, we have to ask 2 questions of ourselves; Am I a disciple? And do I know how to make disciples? The Equip Conference is an opportunity for us to pour into you and give you some of the tools that you will need in your journey of making disciples.

Equip Conference FAQ

What is the Equip Conference?

In the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20), Jesus calls each of us to not only be disciples, but to make disciples! To make disciples in our homes, at work, and in our neighborhoods. But to do that, we have to ask 2 questions of ourselves; Am I a disciple? And do I know how to make disciples? The Equip Conference is an opportunity for us to pour into you and give you some of the tools that you will need in your journey of making disciples. At this conference you will encounter Jesus through powerful worship, and you’ll expand your vision of discipleship through teaching from our Leadership Team.

Who should attend the Equip Conference?

Everyone is called to be a disciple maker, that means you! Because of the depth and intensity of the conference, we are recommending this conference for all elementary aged kids, youth, and adults.

Is the Equip Conference the same thing as an Equip group but in one weekend?

No, the Equip Conference is not the same thing as our Equip group curriculum. Whether you have or haven’t gone through an Equip group before, the Equip Conference is still a great place for you to be! If you want to experience an Equip Group, please contact our discipleship team for more information! (thomas@elevatecc.church)

Why is the conference 2 days?

In the same way that we believe in the benefits of sending our students on retreats for an extended time to get with God and away from distractions, we believe that we also need time to retreat from the world. This 2 day conference means that you can get away from distractions and go deeper than you ever thought you could in just one small group, one Sunday morning, one coffee meeting. There will be time for extended worship and sessions from our Pastors so that you are given the time and resources you need to be the best disciple-maker you can be.

What about my kids?

We have childcare for:

  • 3 year olds- PreK (must be potty trained)

We have a conference experience for all Elementary aged kids (K-5th Grade)

Limited Spots are available!

Is the conference this year the same as last year?

No! Each year Equip Conference is unique and is designed to raise the spiritual temperature in your life!

Why is it $109?

$89 is the early bird price, from October 5 through October 18. It covers all four sessions, a continental breakfast and lunch on Saturday, and snacks between every session. From October 19, registration is $109.

What if I can’t afford it?

Scholarships are available. They are given by people in our church who want to help others be here, so cost does not have to keep you from Equip Conference.

What should I bring?

Bring your Bible and a journal! We are people of a Book!
