This document discusses spiritual maturity and perfection. It notes there are three types of perfection: positional perfection, ultimate perfection, and practical perfection which involves spiritual maturing in this life. Practical perfection is achieved through teaching God's word, trials, and the work of the Holy Spirit. The purpose of perfecting believers is to equip them for ministry through bringing individual maturity and unity to the entire body. Spiritually mature Christians exhibit faithfulness, responsibility, initiative, cooperation, and submission. The conclusion restates that the role of church leaders is to perfect the saints for ministry through consistent biblical teaching and warning of false teachings.
Spiritual gifts are abilities given by the Holy Spirit to each believer to serve God and further the work of the church. The document discusses several spiritual gifts mentioned in the Bible like evangelism, teaching, and serving. It emphasizes that every believer has at least one gift and encourages members to discover their gifts so they can meaningfully contribute to the church's mission. The document also notes that while some gifts like preaching are more visible, other supportive gifts like serving and administration are equally important for the church's functioning and evangelism. Members are responsible for identifying their gifts and using them for ministry under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

The purpose of spiritual discipleship is to help believers understand what God is doing in their lives in order to accelerate their spiritual transformation from independence from God to dependence on Him. Effective discipleship involves prayerfully seeking those who are spiritually hungry and teachable, meeting regularly over several months to examine scripture, share struggles, and provide accountability as both the disciple and mentor grow in their dependence on the Holy Spirit and ability to reproduce this process in others. The goal is for disciples to become mentors themselves through a balanced approach of individual and corporate spiritual training.

2. PURPOSE: Ephesians 4:12 “For the perfecting (equipping) of the saints, unto the work of ministering unto the building up of the body of Christ.”
3. EMPOWERMENT defined: -to invest with power -to equip or supply with an ability -to enable or permit WILL THIS REQUIRE CHANGE? YES WILL EVERYONE LIKE IT? NO IS IT WHAT GOD HAS DIRECTED US TO DO? YES
7. WHY…Personal Investment? Reflecting on personal growth, ask yourself these few questions…. Where do you want to be in the next 12 to 24 months? God calls us all to grow in the body of Christ. We must take the challenge serious to grow and develop into who HE designed us to be. I do not want to accept the status quo any longer! I want total fulfillment in my everyday life and I am willing to do whatever it takes to get there! Am I willing to invest the time needed to support my growth? To grow effectively you need to spend 2-6 hours per month in development of your personal growth. FACT: Your greatest quality of success is the willingness to become. Being willing to BECOME you should view your time as a wonderful and glorious tool God has given you to build your dream, your goals and your assignment. DO NOT THROW IT AWAY! Make your commitment for the impartation of Ecclesia and watch your life be changed FOREVER!!!
8. Personal Investment (cont.)‘A person is known by the company his mind keeps.’ –Nelson Searcy Who will I be mentored by? Realizing that your level of rising is only as good as who you surround yourself with. To promote personal growth requires spending time with Pastors, Coaches, and Mentors . FACT: You will never get as far by yourself…you have to have a mentor. “He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed,” (Proverbs 13:20) ‘Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent. Instead, you will follow the example of those who are going to inherit God's promises because of their faith and endurance,’ Hebrews 6:12 (NLV) What barriers do you allow that restrict you from being ALL GOD designed you to be? BHC believes that your commitment /investment will quicken God to move quickly, set you free, and equip you for exactly HIS PURPOSE! God is waiting for your commitment!

13. QUESTIONS & ANSWERSWEDNESDAY NIGHT SERVICES What will be the format and what can I expect at services? The format will be similar to our summer format with service beginning on October 6 at 6:30p.m-7:45p.m. Other than the downpour nights, we will have a few songs, receive an offering, and then Pastor (or someone) will teach. Remember it will not be traditional. It will require change! You should expect a different atmosphere, a deeper intimacy with God, and a greater equipping (impartation) into your life. BHC has been prepared and is ready to impart that EMPOWERMENT into you for the kingdom. Tradition, religion, and perfect people are not permitted. It is time to be equipped, go to the next level, and walk out the commission God placed in us.
14. What is a DOWNPOUR Service? A DOWNPOUR service will be a time of prayer, worship, ministry of the word, and often times flowing in the gifts. WHEN:DOWNPOUR services will be the first Wednesday of every month. What about the 2nd, 3rd, & 4th Wednesdays of the month? The focus will be on ‘equipping the saints’ to be empowered in Kingdom-ministry & in life.
15. God told Pastor Dalton, “If you make this bold move to invest your time, energy and anointing through Ecclesia, I will create the kind of LEADERS you need to shift the entire culture of the church”. CONTENT OF ECCLESIA: INTIMANCY WITH GOD CREATING A REDEMPTIVE CULTURE Empowerment (in life and Kingdom-ministry)

However, you must have fulfilled all expectations of Ecclesia I to advance to Ecclesia II. If you were unable to complete Ecclesia I for various reasons, we strongly encourage you to participate again. What defines fulfilled?This means the signed Ecclesia covenant agreement; you did not miss more than 5 sessions (we’ve added some grace here), fulfilled your entrustments, paid your bill, and are currently serving in the Bethel family. How will Ecclesia I be different this year?It is not an extra night as last year but class does meet every Wednesday except Downpour night(attendance required). Accountability groups are required, and there will be more accountability on entrustments. I would really like to attend but I work 2nd shift?2nd shift workers and parents with small children can attend via video thru a secure login on the web. You will be still be assigned to an accountability group, which will be a requirement. Will there be an off- site retreat as last year? Yes, the retreat will be May 19-21, 2011.
19. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERSECCLESIA I (Cont.) ENTRUSTMENTS: Already Volunteering? Yes…then you are doing it a minimum of 2x per month.

NO, then we will help you find an area that fits your gifting.
20. ECCLESIA IIThe inaugural 9 month session of Ecclesia was a step of faith. In retrospect, God has done all that He said he would do if we took that step of faith. Approximately 75-80 students consistently participated. Approximately 50 completed the course and fulfilled their end of the covenant that was signed at the onset of the session. ECCLESIA II WHEN: Will begin Wednesday, Oct. 20 at 8:00p – 9:30p All Ecclesia II students will be by application for those who have fulfilled the requirements and covenant of Ecclesia I. Again, this is defined by those who: attended classes, fulfilled their entrustments, paid their bills, and continue to serve in the BHC family. There will be a stringent application, review, and interview process conducted by a core of our leadership team. You will be required to attend 6:30-7:45 Wednesday night services including Downpour. If volunteering during service, you will need to go online to view and take notes. ENTRUSTMENTS: You will be challenged to provide volunteer time monthly to help make a ministry area grow. We are looking for growth and momentum builders not maintaining status quo.
21. ECCLESIA II SESSIONS: Ecclesia II will require a high trust, high accountability environment that draws the best out of you. The content will be strongly focused on core competency/empowerment in ministry. On 2nd Wednesday, Ecclesia II students will be in an accountability group with other Ecclesia II students. On 3rd Wednesday, you will receive impartation from Pastor (or selected teacher) in 2 sessions (separate from Ecclesia I).

My spouse is in Ecclesia I and I will be applying for Ecclesia II. Is the cost the same for Ecclesia II and does the couple discount apply? Yes, the cost is the same for Ecclesia I and II. You will also get the advantage of the couple’s discount. SO……..ARE YOU ONE OF THE LEADERS GOD IS CALLING?
25. IT’S TIME FOR BETHEL TO HARVEST! VOLUNTEERS: During this season of EMPOWERMENT God will be calling and raising leaders at BHC to these positions, are YOU one of them? The time has come where the body is no longer burdened down by misconceptions that we cannot seek God’s best through all, and in all. If we start opening our eyes in faith to the God who is serious about equipping the church (body), then He indeed will bless us. It is time to be empowered by the word and allow every gifting to flow in the Kingdom. God is serious about training His people and he is seeking your intimacy. As Pastor has shared, BHC is MOVING AT THE SPEED OF GOD!!!
