Could you be part of the next Baptist 5Q cohort? 


In partnership with Catalyse Change and RiverTree, Fresh Streams is inviting ministers to be part of the fourth Baptist 5Q cohort starting in September


2023 Cohort ImageWorking with a Baptist team of facilitators led by Simon and Ceri Harris, this cohort is for all ministers passionate about equipping disciples and leading a healthy church actively engaged in the mission of God, helping us draw on the full potential of the fivefold ministries from Ephesians 4.

“And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.” Ephesians 4:11-12

The cohort involves an hour-long huddle every two weeks from September ‘23 until July ‘24.

There are two free taster webinars to find out more. If you can’t make it in person, still register for one as organisers will be able to send details of the recording and how to get involved afterwards.

Register for one of the following webinars:
9.30 on Thursday 15 June,
9.30 on Wednesday 28 June,

Here are the four modules that will be covered between September 2023 and July 2024:

  • The APEST Foundations
  • Creating a 5Q Team
  • Creating 5Q Culture and Structure
  • The 5Q Project – Putting it into Practice


'We believe that reactivating this latent potential in the body of Christ will empower us in new ways for the mission God has called us to.'

Simon & Ceri Harris, Burlington Baptist Church
