Get Equipped

for life & mission

Theological training to equip Christians to serve faithfully in their local churches and engage their communities.

A COMMON CHALLENGE

Practical Equipping You've Been Missing

Many believers long to faithfully serve their local church, impact their community, and participate in God’s mission to the nations. But both individuals and churches often face the same barriers: theological training that is costly, difficult to access, and disconnected from everyday ministry.
 

Without practical, accessible training, churches struggle to develop confident, theologically grounded leaders, teachers, and disciplers. The result is a gap between desire and readiness—between people willing to serve and people equipped to lead.

​

ITM exists to bridge this gap—offering trusted, gospel-centered training that is affordable, accessible, and rooted in the life of the local church.
