In Ephesians 4:11 & 12, Paul says that Jesus gave  pastor-teachers "to equip the saints for the work of ministry." That is the purpose of Equip Classes. These classes are designed to help us grow in both our understanding and application of God's word. They are generally topical in nature, and offered on a semester schedule in the fall and spring on Sunday mornings at 9:30am. You can see examples below.
