Everyday Mission's board gathers to have a conversation around the role of APEST (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Shepherd, and Teacher). We discuss how each gift is called out and developed individually and how APEST teams are Jesus’ unique strategy for establishing healthy, sustainable, and disciple-making churches and church movements. If you're local to the Treasure Coast, this is an invitation to come to a mini-conference on the topic we're hosting 2/16-2/17.
