PRE-CONFERENCE: 5Q Leadership Revolution: Using APEST to Create Movemental Culture – Hosted by 5Q
Many churches and church leaders have accepted the idea of the APEST model in principle for their local expression, denomination, or agency. But it’s time to push past principle and paradigm, and dive headlong into practice and process. If we will do that, we will help build a leadership revolution that can finally lead us to the frontlines of church-as-movement. We believe that APEST is one of the keys to unlocking and unleashing the potential held in the Body of Christ as a whole, as well as a main tool to mobilizing and maturing disciples. In this Pre-Conference, we will do a very brief overview of APEST, and then shift to the discussion around Fivefold Intelligence (5Q) and the Activation, Implementation, Equipping Growth, Marks of health and Stewardship of this leadership in your culture. Full list of speakers for this pre-con here.

PRE-CONFERENCE: Empowering the Church for Missional Movement – Hosted by Forge
Today we find increasing complexities in mobilizing church movement. The past few years have presented challenges that are unprecedented in our lifetime, causing many existing churches to scramble, looking for innovation in ministry and discipleship. As well, planters are challenged in following past models of launching a new community of faith. So how do pastors and pioneers find momentum and movement within such a challenging time? What are the innovations that are taking place, the experiments finding success, that allow churches, new and old, to continue participating in the mission of God? What are the practical steps leaders can take to adapt their current paradigms to meet our new and future reality? More details for this pre-con here.
