The Equip Conference is designed to encourage, empower, and resource pastors and volunteer leaders to fulfill their purpose within the local church. All of this, in order to develop a network of quality Christian leaders and healthy faith communities.

Mark your calendars for the Equip Conference, April 17-18, 2026 at Cedar Valley Church in Bloomington. To reach our goals of encouragement and empowerment, the Equip Conference offers dynamic main session speakers, powerful worship experiences, multiple breakout sessions, and opportunities for networking. We provide this so that we can spur fellowship among volunteers, pastors, and ministry leaders from all over Minnesota.

ASL interpretation is provided for Equip main sessions.
