Equipping Disciplers (Part 2): Equippers’ Role in Victorian Baptist Churches

Part 2 of 2. This series of articles seeks to present a coherent pedagogical framework for equipping disciplers in local congregations. Part 2 examines the role of equippers—those entrusted with preparing disciplers within local churches. Although gifted leaders are assigned the role of equipping the saints, there appears to be a discernible deficiency in their pedagogic methodologies, rendering them less efficacious in fulfilling their responsibilities. This article advocates for an intricate role definition for these equippers, predicated on an amalgamation of biblical and pedagogical foundations. This study was conducted within the delimited context of Baptist churches in Victoria, Australia.
