SESSIONS

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.
Day / Time: Monday 1:00pm — 5:00pm and Tuesday 8:00am — 11:30am
Location: Faith Hall - Room 301C

Workshop Session 1: Unity: Laying the Foundation & Equipping the Body for Unity - Ephesians 4:1-6
In the midst of contextualization and specialization, it is possible to lose sight of the singular goal of the Great Commission. Scripture continually emphasizes the importance of our unity in Christ and as a community of believers. This foundational truth shapes our journey, fruitfulness, and witness. This workshop will seek to establish the biblical foundation and emphasis of unity found in Ephesians 4:1-6. We will discuss why this has to laid and established before you begin to emphasize diversity (APEST) and how unity undergirds, facilitates and maximizes discipleship and movement. We will also look at some practical tools to help maintain the unity of the body while we journey into the empowerment of diverse giftings.
Time: Tuesday, 2:30pm — 3:30pm
Location: Faith Hall - Room 301C
Speakers: Rich Robinson, Joshua Johnson, Oneya Okuwobi, Brian Sims, Lindsey Harwood, Kimberly Culbertson

Workshop Session 2: Using APEST to Strengthen the Pillars and Equip the Body for Growth - Ephesians 4:7-12
APEST can often be seen as an individual calling or competency grid, a personal gifting or ministry, a title or an office. But is it meant to be so much more than an assessment of personality traits, a box or badge, or an excuse. Working from our foundation of unity in the mission of God, this workshop will explore the how APEST provides a diversity of expression and contextualization that is both complete and holistic. We will discuss the different capacities of APEST and discuss practically how they can come together to accomplish the singular mission of the church and provide a biblical framework for unity beyond complexity. We will discuss how they can be corporate, as well as individual, and can be marks of the church that speak to her health and vitality.
Time: Wednesday, 8:45am — 9:45am
Location: Faith Hall - Room 301C
Speakers: Rich Robinson, Joshua Johnson, Oneya Okuwobi, Brian Sims, Lindsey Harwood, Kimberly Culbertson

Workshop Session 3: Maturity: Building the House & Equipping the Body for Fullness - Ephesians 4:13-16
Understanding APEST and its’ place within the Body of Christ isn’t enough. It needs to work its’ way into how we build leadership pipelines, resource, and develop leaders for movemental leadership. We will look at the design process for leadership development that is informed by APEST and focused on training and equipping leaders who can lead multi-generational and faceted growth. In this workshop, we’ll unpack what these APEST-oriented pipelines can look like, how to build them, and how to point them towards movement. We will discuss and explore how APEST-orientation can help to make us more strategic and fruitful in ‘who & what’ we resource and celebrate, re-calibrating around the different activities and aspects of our community and scaffolding the Body towards maturity.
Time: Wednesday, 2:30pm — 3:30pm
Location: Faith Hall - Room 301C
Speakers: Brian Sims, Laura Hairston, Joshua Johnson, Lindsey Harwood, Kimberly Culbertson

Workshop Session 4: Equipping: Using APEST in Mobilizing and Equipping Leaders for Missional Impact and “Church as Movement” Dynamics
While each individual disciple is formed and matured in all five elements of the 5-Fold gifts (in the way of Jesus), we must learn to equip each individual in their primary and secondary calling and function to release the priesthood of all believers if we want to see movemental capacity unleashed. In this workshop we’ll explore the ways to make, train and mobilize individuals to be released to operate in a church-as-movement ethos, and to see missional impact. We will explore how to create environments and processes where there is input, coaching, peer-learning and community activity that produces mature and rounded missional and multiplying leaders.
Time: Thursday, 8:45am — 9:45am
