Our Founder

Bernard Harper was born in Augusta,Ga to Bernard and Pamela Harper on May 10, 1988.

Equipping the saints began inauspiciously in 2018 when Bernard started New Start Ministries and planted New Start Church in North Augusta and then the ministry moved to Hephzibah,Ga where he grew up, from that we noticed a majority of the following is online via our podcast and articles and decided to continue with Equipping the saints online via resources such as articles, Podcasts and books. Today, Bernard  serves as lead teacher for this ministry he is currently going to the Masters Seminary pursuing a certificate in theology.

Our Mission

Most people in the world have no experience of being equipped with the resources needed to grow. 

Even though it is something we all desperately long for, the assurance that true happiness can be known — fully and forever — is a hope that billions of people live every day without. This is a tragedy.

Equipping The Saints is on a mission to change that.

We aim to help people everywhere embrace a profound truth that changes everything about life and eternity:

You were created for something greater than yourself. You were formed for something awesome and magnificent.

You were made to know glory — God’s glory. And the deepest longings of the human heart can be fully satisfied by pursuing that glory. In fact, God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.

Our Funding

Equipping The Saints is fueled by the prayers and generosity of God’s people, with 98% of our budget coming from donations. God’s pattern is not only to raise up people with a message and a vision, but also partners in prayer and finance. When you give, you can have the confidence of knowing that lives are being impacted for eternity 24/7 throughout our resources freely offered at Equipping The Saints We invite you to join us in this work by becoming a ministry partner and making a difference.  Give here.
