This session explains the foundational role apostles and prophets play in establishing healthy churches. Their gifts help set direction, guard doctrine, strengthen unity, and create environments where the rest of the ministry gifts can function as God intended.

Here the focus turns to how apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers work together to equip the church. Each gift contributes something distinct, and the church matures when all are present, recognized, and allowed to function as Christ designed.

This session highlights the pastoral and teaching gifts, showing how they build stability, clarity, and care within the church. Shepherds nurture and guide people through life, while teachers ground the community in truth so it can grow with confidence.

This session brings the series together by showing how every believer has a part in the work of ministry. When leaders equip the church and people step into their God-given roles, the whole body grows stronger, healthier, and more effective in fulfilling Christ’s mission.

Explore how Scripture frames leadership as a calling rooted in character, service, and Spirit-empowered gifting.

A practical framework for church leaders who want to invest in people, develop high-capacity teams, and form sons and daughters in the faith who can carry ministry further than the previous generation.
