The Equipping Institute

The Equipping Institute exists to help ministry leaders learn by experiencing. Their philosophy of a REAL approach: Relational, Experiential, Applicable, and Learner-Based is utilized in their training. Clemmons UMC in the Yadkin Valley District has utilized this resource and Dr. J. Matthew Burton, Jr., senior pastor, indicates “The Equipping Institute training at Clemmons UMC has transformed the culture of our congregation. It has moved us from a membership culture that asks, ‘What can the church do for me?’ to a discipleship culture that asks, ‘What can I do for Jesus in the community and world?’”
