Introducing Trinity Equips Ministry Training Series

Jason Burnham
January 22, 2026

Greetings Trinity Family,

If there’s a common theme that I continue to hear in my travels across the conference, it’s a longing to be more holy, faithful, and effective in the Kingdom work God has placed before us. Likewise I’ve discerned a need for additional resources to support you, and today I’m pleased to announce a new training series that fills this need.

Trinity Equips represents months of research and preparation by our Equipping Elders, the Reverends Enid Henderson, Clark Atkins, and Brad McKenzie, who will be leading a series of training events across our eleven Conference areas this spring.

These area-based ministry trainings are not about adding more to your calendar; they are about equipping you with practical tools, theological grounding, and renewed spiritual vision for the work of making disciples in your local churches and communities.

Each gathering is intentionally shaped to meet real needs in real churches. Whether it is learning how to reach and disciple children in your community, rediscovering your mission field with fresh eyes, or deepening a life lived in the power of the Holy Spirit, these trainings bring together sound Wesleyan theology, practical instruction, and space for prayerful reflection.

Check the topics and dates listed below and make plans to attend. Registration is open now. Come ready to learn, to listen, and to be renewed—and when possible, come with others from your church so you can experience these events together.

Our hope is that you will leave encouraged and equipped with clear direction and to continue growing a fruitful ministry in your local church.

Peace,
Jason
