EQUIP
CERTIFICATE OF LEADERSHIP
ADVANCED CERTIFICATE OF MINISTRY
MULTIPLY
INTERNSHIPS
CHURCH PLANTING RESIDENCIES
This depends on you! EQUIP is the primary entry point and is designed for people who are part of Liberty, serve on a team and want to develop their own leadership capabilities. The Certificate of Leadership is a more intensive program aimed at people who are Coordinators, Coaches or Captains on a Liberty team or who lead a Community Group. Multiply is designed specifically for people who want to be part of a church planting team either as the planter or as a launch team member. Internships are available for anyone who is part of Liberty. Ministry Residencies are designed for people who are committed to making full-time ministry their vocation and the residency gives them practical experience.
Each program is designed to equip you to be a stronger and more effective leader in the marketplace and/or in a ministry. EQUIP will help you develop skills to improve your ability to lead yourself and others. The Certificate of Leadership will dive more deeply into both personal leadership as well as leading teams effectively. Multiply will be a critical part of the preparation to become a church planter or a launch team member.
EQUIP, the Certificate Program and Multiply all begin the week of September 4, 2019. Each program differs in length and some weeks will be off weeks due to holidays. In general, EQUIP will run into March 2020, the Certificate of Leadership until May and Multiply until April. We are also considering a January 2020 start for EQUIP only that would run through June 2020.
Not at this time.
EQUIP in New York City will be held on Tuesday evenings. EQUIP will launch in St. Pete and Manzini in January 2020.

While the ideal path is to move from EQUIP to the Certificate of Leadership to Multiply, it is not a requirement. However, you do need to serve on a team to be accepted into EQUIP, and you need to be a Coordinator, Coach, Captain or Community Group leader to be accepted into the Certificate Program. For Multiply, you would want to feel called to plant a church or be part of a launch team and be serving in a Liberty Community.
