"The ChristCare ETC was one of the best training courses I've ever attended. Throughout the week we bonded, learned from one another, and brainstormed with seasoned group leaders about what makes for success. I feel ready to begin transforming lives in our church! With all the ChristCare resources and the support provided by Stephen Ministries, you really can't fail."

"The Equipper's Training Course brings together people of many different denominational and theological backgrounds and creates a setting in which we can learn, love, support, and grow with one another. With Christ as our common ground, our differences become blessings, not boundaries."

"The high-energy ETC offers the training, vision, and tools Equippers need to launch a vibrant, growing small group ministry. If your congregation is looking to form small groups that will transform lives for Jesus, look no farther than ChristCare!"

"Our ChristCare Group at the ETC was the best possible model for the kind of ChristCare Groups we want to form in our own congregation. We built a caring community, worshipped, prayed, planned--and laughed together. We also shared the pain of those who were hurting. We experienced the transformational power of Biblical Equipping. I feel personally blessed, and our congregation will continue to be blessed through this ministry for years to come."

"The ETC was motivating, enlightening, empowering, and invigorating--all at the same time. I've always felt strongly that a key part of my role as a pastor is to equip the saints for service. I now have an extremely effective ministry and a complete set of tools to accomplish that mission."
Rev. Steve Wimmer
First Church of God

"The ETC provided our Equippers Team with the system, tools, and expertise we need to implement ChristCare in our congregation. At the same time it expanded my vision for what small groups can do and increased my passion for this vital disciple-making ministry. Full steam ahead!"
