Every congregation is made up of an amazing group of believers blessed by God with different gifts for different kinds of service. When more of these members are involved in ministry, more ministry gets done. In many congregations, half of the members are women who are looking for ways to serve.

“Equip Women to Teach the Word” is a training tool for congregations that want to encourage and prepare women to serve as faithful teachers of God’s Word in different ministry settings. Whether used in a small class setting or as an individual, the five lessons and accompanying videos provide step-by-step instruction that replaces fear with confidence to serve. The lessons are self-paced but stress the active partnership between pastor and laypeople as they work together to carry out ministry. Training activities found throughout the lessons help put learning into practice.

May God use this resource to increase use of your church’s talent for kingdom good.
