“So Christ himself gave
the apostles, the prophets,
the evangelists, the shepherds, and teachers,
to equip His people for works of service,
so the body of Christ may be built up.”
Eph 4:11-12
Jesus was the sent one.
They see the big picture and extend the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
They spark momentum, mobilize leaders, and catalyze movements.
They preserve the vision, steward the mission and serve the Church,
just as He did.
When you know yourself as a disciple and recognize the gifts of others, you become a multiplying disciple:
one who leads fruitfully, cultivates healthy community, and advances God's mission.
Understand who you are and how you're wired, to be more Christlike and live out your true calling
Align your calling and your purpose so that The Great Commission becomes real & relevant
Understand your gifting to shift from just consuming to contributing toward the mission of God
Maximize your mission by discovering yourself, so that you can do what you were called to do at your church
Aligning your calling and purpose reveals how equipped and effective you are in living it out
Understand your colleagues better when you know their APEST callings so that you can collaborate effectively
Accelerate the mission by helping your team understand themselves and their colleagues really well
Help your team discover themselves and their calling, to do what they were really called to do
Help your team understand their colleagues better by knowing their APEST scores and calling
