Luke 5:5-7 “Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but I will do as You say and let down the nets.” And when they had done this, they caught a great quantity of fish, and their nets began to tear; so they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both of the boats, to the point that they were sinking."

BE EQUIPPED
Equip has a mandate of excellence
for the commitment & care of others.
We redefine Spiritual Care ... in the church ... in the college ... in the community and ... most importantly, in caring.
It is rare that one finds a vision and passion so out-of-the-box to the way society and culture expect ministry to be. Equip’s leaders have tenacity to care that meet many at their point of need.
Major Kathi Longcoy, Salvation Army, Stratford Connecticut
EQUIP AT A GLANCE
A Distinct Next Generation Identity
Equip Services Inc. hosts the embodied ministries of Equip Church, Equip Academy Bible Institute and Equip Care Ministries. We realize that our strength and excellence lies not only in the Biblical truths we stand by, but most importantly through the actions of our initiatives. Equip was founded to walk with and alongside those facing need, and to empower others to do the same. We believe that there is value, purpose, potential, and dignity in compassionately loving, serving, and caring for the needs of others. Our vision challenges the status quo with out-of-the-box and creative collaborations toward transformational life change holistically in Spirit | soul | body. Since founding, Equip has offered unique and creative religious programs that empower those we lead and serve. While today, many are realizing that the old ways of doing things may be gone, Equip has held a long-standing vision and seasoned experience for a next generation ministerial programs and services.
Since founding, Equip has fostered a legacy vision across five areas of impact which include
Organizational Leadership | Spiritual Care | Education | Community Care | and Crisis Interventions
Our programs engage, shape, and form a culture of practical care to the point of need.

SERVICES
Bringing Transformational Care
Equip Services Inc. holds a vision that is more than a big idea! We promote a lifestyle of worship through Spiritual Care (showing God's love), Significance (Discovering Purpose), and Belonging (a Compassion for all). Equip teaches, trains, supervises, proclaims, and empowers as we navigate the journey of life together. Our services host an unshakable commitment to providing life-giving, innovative, and strategic programs. We engage relationally with relevant, timely, and sustainable solutions that build vitality over time. We are called to serve people of all ages, cultures, and persuasions as we engage locally, regionally and nationally as an empowered U.S. Missions organization. While our mission is simple - to care - our goal is to meet the basic need of others through love, hope, and wellbeing which are the staples of everyday life.
Testimonials
Community Crisis Interventions & Peer Support
Our first responders’ self-care by team is very important to providing crisis intervention. Equip’s Chaplain had an uncanny ability to sense exactly what was needed, when it was needed. Whether an individual experiencing a crisis of faith or one simply needing a ministry of presence, their Chaplain was well suited for every task.
Fire Lieutenant Charles Popp, Boston Fire | Metro Fire CISM Peer Support Team Coordinator
Community Services in the Clinical Healthcare Setting
For more than two years, I searched for a volunteer – anyone who could relationally journey with a resident in end-of-life stages. His favorite past time – cribbage. An Equip companion was made readily available to journey with him in lovingkindness through his end of life experience.
Gina Zecco, Director of Social Work, The Coleman House Northborough Massachusetts
Organizational Enrichment via Conferences & Seminars
The Equip Team is passionate across their areas of expertise and brought advanced-level conference training that enriched and motivated my leadership teams. Their trained educators and support teams are readily available to enhance and empower. I highly recommend this vision, mission, and their commitment to the training others to serve those in need.
Gerry Fernandez, Conference Coordinator, Onset Massachusetts
Leadership Development & Referral Networks
As a retired nurse and healthcare professional of 45 years, my purpose and value continues. Equip’s care & companion training matches unmet circumstance with viable volunteer placements bridging service opportunities direct to the point of need.
