The Equipping Center is a ministry training program designed to equip, train and educate men and women that are called (or believe they have a calling on their life) to preach and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is a program geared towards helping people to discover their purpose in the Kingdom of God and aid them in serving in their local assemblies.
The Equipping Center is NOT an undergraduate or graduate degree program. When students complete a Tier of the Equipping Center, they receive a certificate of completion for the Tier they completed. As of now the school has only 3 tiers. (See the courses offered in each Tier below). The Tiers are progressive so all enrolling students begin with Tier I.
The Equipping Center does not license and ordain individuals that attend the school. The information gained will definitely be an asset to one’s ministry calling, however, we believe that one’s own pastor should license and/or ordain them.
Our classes equip leaders in both, practical and spiritual matters of ministry. Theological and doctrinal teachings are very important for those called to the ministry. However, Apostle Mitchell has noticed over the years, that there has been an over emphasis of spiritual gifting and titling without proper preparedness. This has contributed to the pride, hypocrisy, spiritual immaturity, and the lack of character and integrity that we see today in the body of Christ amongst too many ministry leaders in the Church today. Too many people have been released without being properly processed and equipped. This school is designed to bring about a balance in the Kingdom. Kingdom leaders need to be equipped and processed first, before they equip others. This school has been established to equip equippers.
The only requirement you need to attend the Equipping Center is a desire to learn. If you already know you are called, think you are called, walking in your calling or you just want to learn more about the call of ministry and yourself…this school is for you.
The upcoming school year is from September 9, 2025-May 19, 2026. Classes are held two Saturdays a month or two Tuesdays a month depending which Tier you are in; each class is 2 hours and 30 minutes. We offer in-person classes as well as online classes via Zoom for those that enroll. In-person classes are held at 7445 Old Alexandria Ferry Rd, Clinton, MD. Tier Two classes are held via Zoom only.
In order to make this school available to as many students as possible, we have kept the tuition at a very reasonable cost. Payments are even broken down into 9 monthly payments for the students. There is also a non-refundable registration fee of $25.00 for students that enroll. The cost for each Tier is as follows:
Tier One $540.00/$60 a month
Tier Two $585.00/$65.00 a month
Tier Three $630.00/$70.00 a month
