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.
What's Going on at Equip?
"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."

Testimonials
Charles Popp
Boston Fire Lieutenant
Boston, MA
"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."
Gina Zecco
Director of Social Work

"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."
Gerry Fernandez Lead Pastor &
Conference Coordinator
Onset, MA
"The Equip Team is passionate across their areas of expertise and brought advance-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 of others who serve those in need at the local church level."
Joseph O'neill
Pastor & Church Planter
"I received my degree with Chesapeake Bible College & Seminary, studying with Dr. Iannicelli at Equip Academy’s Bible institute. I just wanted to thank Equip and CBCS with sincerity and great appreciation. Proverbs 16:9 says that a man’s heart plans his way but the Lord directs his steps. I see CBCS & Dr. Loretta as pedals on a bicycle, giving feet like mine clear placement so those steps are much easier to navigate."
Gavin Alves Worship Media & Arts Director

"Equip is a blessing to me! I want to encourage all who have put their hands to the plow with equipping because it's been a blessing in my life. My cousin had never really been to church, and I saw her serving in the house, fellowshipping in the presence of the Lord with song and teaching. I have been encouraged and prayed for from everyone at Equip Church. You are doing the work and God is using you. God sees your faithfulness. Just keep sitting in Him."
