Make Disciples Leader Lab

Leader Labs are investment days in you and your team. Each Leader Lab focuses on a different area of leadership or church culture that will help you focus on making disciples that make disciples.

Here's a snapshot into this one:

Empowering the Five: Harnessing APEST for Healthy Leaders and Thriving Churches

Jesus has given the church Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Shepherds and Teachers, each with a unique voice, giftedness, and way of seeing the world. We need all 5 types of leaders fully equipped and empowered for the church to function the way Jesus intended. All too often, these gifts have created competition in the church. How beautiful that Jesus created His body in such a way that we need each other to be the fullest expression of who He is! This workshop will give a biblical framework for an empowered church, help you understand your own voice and how you impact those around you, identify the APEST gifts on your team and learn how to best leverage them, and help you understand how to empower all 5 types of people in your church.

Who is this for?

Leader Labs are specifically designed for pastors/ministry leaders to experience with their teams. Ministry just keeps coming. These investment days help you slow down long enough to take stock, hear the Lord together, get vision, and refocus on making healthy disciples that make new disciples.

Who is your team?

Staff, key leaders, paid or unpaid leaders that are leading the work of ministry with you. We recommend you bring at least one other person from your context. Can you come alone? Absolutely. We've found these experiences are always best when you have someone else from your context to process with you.

What is the day like?

A leader lab will feel like a workshop. There will be teaching to frame up the way of Jesus, as well as training that includes frameworks and tools you'll apply to your specific context. You'll sit with your team so you can think together about how the training can be contextualized into your ministry. There will be other churches/ministries in the room who are as passionate as you about making healthy disciples that multiply.
