Synergy Sessions
The landscape of the Church is shifting dramatically across nations and communities. God seems to be streamlining His Church, confronting familiar systems, strategies and areas stagnation. We must respond!
When we think of missionary work, our minds often wander to distant continents. Yet today, many Christian foundations in our Western nations are being challenged daily, and the mission fields on home soil grow ever larger.
To navigate the wild spiritual terrain of this season, we need change! For too long, the Church has focused primarily on raising up two key leadership gifts: teaching and pastoral care. While many teachers and pastors are wonderfully equipped and ready, they need people to disciple!
The question is, how do we shift into "missionary mode" in our own nations? The answer lies in including and activating the fivefold ministry working together in synergy.
But to do this we believe a reformation of the prophetic and apostolic gifts is needed in the mix.
The Synergy Sessions will dive deep into the reactivation of these gifts from Ephesians 4—exploring both how we can do this and what it will look like in the Church today.
- What does healthy prophetic and apostolic ministry actually look like?
- How do they differ from each other?
- How do they work together with evangelists, pastors, and teachers?
Their purpose is to equip believers for every calling - people with healthy and mature character—disciples who represent God’s Kingdom, not just a ministry.
Come and join this important conversation!
Through engaging teaching and thought-provoking interactive discussions with experienced leaders, we will explore how the Church can rise to meet the challenges of this critical moment in history.
