We believe that we all have a part to play in the body of Christ. As disciples, when we are  together in community, we have the potential to grow into the fullness of Christ, activating kingdom potential within us both individually and collectively.

APEST stands for the Apostolic, Prophetic, Evangelistic, Shepherding, and Teaching intelligence that Jesus gifted to his body (as named in Ephesians 4, and seen present through scripture).

At 5QCollective we provide tools, training and resources around APEST for individuals and organizations to unlock and activate their latent kingdom potential. The whole reason we exist is to increase the awareness and application of APEST.
