Equip Conference 2021

Equip Conference exists to raise up a generation of people who proclaim God’s word across this nation. The heart of the conference is to equip people to understand and teach the Bible. Gather with us as we listen together to the Word of God, in small groups learn how to prepare and write Bible studies, receive training in practical areas of ministry, and worship our great God with like-minded believers from all over the country.

What does registration cover?

Registration covers everything you need for Equip. When you register, you can choose to either stay on site, or come to the conference as a Day-visitor and arrange your own accommodation. Your registration will include access to all teaching throughout the week, and accommodation and meals during your time at Equip. 

 Speakers

Jay Behan

Jay Behan is currently Vicar of St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, Christchurch, where he has led the ministry for eleven years. Jay also serves as the first Bishop of the Church of Confessing Anglicans of Aotearoa NZ. He is a gifted preacher and winsome communicator. He is passionate about talking to people about the good news we have in Jesus and seeing people grow in their faith. He is married to Jaimee and they have three children. He loves family times, watching rugby league, and attempting (in vain) to get better at golf.

Andrew Southerton

Andrew Southerton and his family moved to Wellington in 2014 with the aim of teaching the Bible, loving people and not being weird. Through that God has gathered together the great people at City on a Hill Evangelical Church. Some things people do find weird about Andrew is that he grew up as a Mormon, he didn’t play rugby until he was at university and that his three kids laugh at his jokes. Some things that people don’t find weird are his lovely wife Adele, their cute dog Matilda and that he left working as an accountant to head into full time ministry. Andrew loves to teach the Bible and keep things uncomplicated.

Strands and Seminars

Equip Conference is designed to be completed over four years, with delegates completing one strand each year. In your strand group, you will learn how to understand a part of the Bible and prepare a Bible study on it. At the end of the conference you will have the opportunity to present your Bible study to a small group and receive feedback from our experienced strand leaders.

Anyone is welcome to join us at Equip Conference for our evening meetings and no registration is required. The meetings begin at 7:30pm and are followed by supper. Join us as we sing praises to our Heavenly Father, listen to His Word preached, and share fellowship together. It's a great way to be a part of the conference and to get a taste of what a full week at Equip is like.
