Complete competency syllabus and all reading materials

The premise each of the competencies in this module is that the fivefold functions of Ephesians are still to be expressed in the Body of Christ today and that the Church is best served if they are functioning in balance on ministry teams. This competency will lay a biblical foundation and historical context of these gifts as functions, based on a Christological framework. In addition, the theology of servant leadership and how this influences the exercise of these gifts will be discussed. This will be foundational for the other two competencies in this module.

Description

CLI – Christian Leadership Institute: Module 6.0 Ministry Life

The competencies in this module are focussed on the understanding and application of the equipping gifts from Ephesians 4. It is assumed that candidates in the program will have one or more of these gifts functioning in their ministry life. These fivefold gifts are re-examined as functions for the Body of Christ as a reflection of the ministry of Christ to this world. Rather than seeing these gifts as “offices” or positions, they are put within the context of leadership functions, making the application as to how this impacts the balance of leadership teams and within Body of Christ as a whole.
