discover god's gifts

God is a gift giver & He has gifted you to be a gift to others.

You were created on purpose, for a purpose. God has lavishly poured out his grace (undeserved favor that empowers you) for you by giving you spiritual gifts to live a life of purpose. We are called to discover spiritual gifts in community with others, as we mature in expressing these gifts in love. Jesus gave the Church the gift of APEST and the Holy Spirit. As the church, you are a gift when you function within  APEST and allow the Holy Spirit to express His presence & grace through you.

APEST

You were made to reflect the nature of Jesus to your wingspan through APEST. APEST is an acronym for the functions of apostle, prophet, evangelist, shepherd, and teacher. Each of us has a primary function that expresses the gift of APEST. As you function in your primary APEST, you are a gift to the Church. Click the button to learn more about APEST!

WHAT IS MY NEXT STEP?

We are all on a journey to becoming Christ-centered and whole. We believe that on this journey, a person is never done growing and maturing spiritually. The gifts of God are meant to be expressed through Christ followers who are continually moving forward in maturity.

God always has a next step for you. We see people becoming followers of Jesus by being made new in Jesus, finding freedom that is rooted in their identity in Jesus, discovering their God-given purpose, and living fully to multiply other Jesus followers.

Being Made New is when spiritual orphans become sons & daughters of God. Through surrendering your life to Jesus, you receive a new Christ-centered identity! The Spirit of God lives within you and gives you the grace and guidance to walk in the way of Jesus.
Finding Freedom in Jesus in when adopted children are nurtured as they grow. As you become confident in your Christ-centered identity you learn to make decisions that are led by God’s Spirit and Word. In your relationship with Jesus, you find freedom to move forward into all God has
for you.
Discovering your purpose in Jesus is when nurtured children are empowered to maturity and purpose. Grounded in your relationship and identity with Jesus you discover that God has given you gifts, talents, and strengths to be used for good works of eternal value. You begin to step into your God-given purpose.
Living Fully in Jesus is when mature sons & daughters are mobilized to multiply as spiritual mothers & fathers.
