What to expect

This in-depth study will equip you with the tools to understanding the people you are engaging and join with God in His work of uniting all things in Christ. You will explore God’s DNA for the church as specified in Ephesians 4. Beginning with an overview to get a grounding in key terms, you will then consider the implications of APEST for individuals, the Church, and society. You will take away the following strategic applications:

  • Learning objectives for the whole module and as well as learning objectives specific to each of the four sessions

  • An overview, objectives, key content to engage with, discussion questions and topics, reflection and action

  • Become the type of leader that empowers, inspires, entrusts, and reminds others to stay on mission

  • Each module can be undertaken as an individual or studied together as part of a group but, if you are engaging as an individual we would encourage you to find a context to process and discuss with others.
