He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equpping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. ~ Ephesians 4:11-13 (NASB)

GEBC Equipping Vision

The EQUIPPING Vision is aimed at providing educational opportunities, as well as events and experiences that will EQUIP us in the following six ministry initiatives:

Intercede
Serve
Share
Give
Go
Study

In order to accomplish this programming variety, each of us will be asked to identify our current stage of spiritual maturity in each of the six initiatives and then select a course of action that best matches our maturity level. The names we are using to identify the three different stages of maturity are:

  • Apprentice
    One who needs an explanation and example, and is ready to try something new.
  • Journeyman
    One who needs practice and perseverance, and is ready to grow in discipline.
  • Master
    One who is ready to lead and train others, and is looking for an opportunity to reproduce.

We will describe these levels in greater detail as we make our way through each of the six initiatives. Having this type of language to describe spiritual maturity will help us assess ourselves, as well as talk about pracitcal ways to grow.
