EQUIP 210 is a K-12 Kingdom Educational Movement dedicated to equipping children in their Kingdom identity and purpose. Through dynamic core subjects, Bible study, and specialized electives like Entrepreneurship, Biblical Citizenship, Film, Video, Healthy Social Media, Graphic Design, Culinary Arts, Music, Art, Songwriting, Programming, and more, we empower students to discover their calling.

God wants our children to know they are His masterpiece, loved and created for a Kingdom purpose. EQUIP 210 partners with families to guide, shepherd, and direct students toward Jesus through our core curriculum and electives.

We are disrupting and reinventing the way education is done, equipping students for their future.

The intersecting lines of our logo symbolize the unity, integrity, and strength of our educational movement.

We equip families to empower their children to walk in their God-given identity and lead with purpose, preparing them to fulfill their calling.

At EQUIP 210, as an apostolic church, we’re bringing the power of the Holy Spirit into education and our communities.

Our integrated auxiliaries—pastor-led communities—are dedicated to equipping children and families, helping them discover their identity and calling in Jesus Christ through a transformative educational experience.
