Grace Equip was founded by Grace Community Church to provide our congregation and community with a casual yet advanced biblical education at a low cost. No degree or qualification is needed to take classes.
These courses are designed to take Christians deeper in their understanding of the Bible and theology. The goal is to better equip you for ministry in the church, evangelism in the world, and Godliness in your personal life.
Grace Equip is devoted to offering exciting, relevant, and challenging biblical topics taught by seminary trained teachers who are an active part of ministry here on campus. They are eager to come alongside you, answer your questions and prepare you to better serve the Lord.
