The Ascension Gifts of Christ
Foundations, Functions and Formation of the Mature Church
12-Lesson Course with Tony & Irene Fournier
For many, the Church feels fragmented and disconnected from its true calling.

The five-fold ministry, once a powerful foundation, is often misunderstood or dismissed as outdated.

Misinterpretations, shaped by institutional mindsets and cultural norms, have led the Church to lose sight of the transformative power behind the apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, pastoral, and teaching gifts.
  • How would you like to be so in step with the Father that you hear His voice, sense His Presence, and feel His love 24/7?
  • What if you could eliminate striving and simply flow in full assurance of the Father’s adoration and approval?
  • What if you were so infused with God’s love that you “leaked”?
Without a clear understanding of these roles, how can the Church mature and fulfill its calling as the body of Christ?

Today, believers are left to face:
  • Uncertainty about their roles
  • Isolation from their spiritual gifts
  • Confusion about spiritual authority and discipleship 
  • ​A struggle to bring unity and maturity to the body of Christ
Beloved, it’s time to rediscover the treasures God has concealed for you, fulfilling the call of Proverbs 25:2: 

"It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings to search it out."

Course description by Tony & Irene Fournier

Lesson 1:The Ascension Gifts of Christ, Part 1: Foundation and Function
Step into the first lesson with Tony Fournier as he sets the stage for a transformational journey into the heart of God’s divine blueprint. This foundational teaching focuses on the five-fold ministry's purpose and function, as revealed in Paul's letter to the Ephesians. Through this lesson, you’ll uncover the rich symbolism of Christ as the Chief Cornerstone—the foundation upon which the entire structure of the church is built and aligned. Tony dives deep into the challenges posed by institutional mindsets that often overshadow the relational, Spirit-led design of God’s Kingdom. You'll discover how these mindsets can cloud our understanding of Christ’s gifts and explore how returning to God’s blueprint restores unity, intimacy, and purpose within His family and His Kingdom.

This is more than just a study; it’s a treasure hunt through Scripture, designed to uncover the mysteries of the ascension gifts and their role in equipping the Body of Christ for greater impact. With the Holy Spirit as your guide, you’ll gain fresh insight into how God is aligning His church to reflect His original design. Prepare to dig deep, discover hidden treasures, and realign with God’s eternal purpose!

This lesson unveils the power of unity and fellowship, showing how each believer is a vital, living stone in God's holy temple. Learn why God’s original blueprint matters, how the new wineskin represents flexibility and life, and what it takes to function as the living, breathing expression of Christ on earth.

Lesson 3: The Ministry Gift of Apostle, Part 1
In Lesson 3, The Ministry Gift of Apostle, Part 1, you will dive into the divine calling and unique purpose of the apostle within the Body of Christ. Rooted in Ephesians 4:11, this lesson uncovers the apostle as a "sent one," commissioned by God to carry Kingdom authority, operate in supernatural wisdom, and lead with perseverance. Apostles are builders, aligning the Church with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone, equipping believers to fulfill their ministry calling, and working in synergy with other five-fold ministries to create a unified and mature Body of Christ.

This lesson also explores how apostles are sent with a specific mission for a particular people, place, and time, much like Jesus, Paul, and Peter were. Drawing from Old Testament prototypes such as Moses, Isaiah, and Nehemiah, we see the timeless principles of apostolic ministry foreshadowed in their lives as they carried divine authority to establish God’s purposes. From preaching and teaching to implementing revelation and resolving disputes, the apostolic gift is vital to building the Kingdom of God. This teaching will deepen your understanding of the apostolic ministry and inspire you to walk confidently in your divine calling.

Building on the foundation from Part 1, this lesson explores the characteristics, roles, and modern-day applications of the apostolic calling. From the Biblical qualifications of the apostles of the Lamb to the diverse functions of apostles in today’s Church, you'll discover how these “sent ones” operate with Kingdom authority, impart vision, and steward the mystery of Christ’s eternal plan. Learn how apostles are commissioned to specific people, places, and purposes, equipped to influence culture and unify the Body of Christ. This teaching illuminates the ongoing restoration of the apostolic gift, inspiring you to recognize its significance in advancing God’s Kingdom today.

Discover the distinction between operating in the gift of prophecy and being called as a five-fold prophet. This lesson also provides critical insights on identifying false prophets and distinguishing them from true, Biblically grounded prophetic voices. Step into your prophetic calling with understanding and clarity!

Lesson 8: The Ministry Gift of Teacher, Part 1
In Lesson 8, you will explore the vital role of the teacher within the Church and how this gift works alongside the apostles and prophets to establish a strong foundation of faith. This lesson delves into the purpose and power of the teaching ministry, highlighting how teachers impart knowledge that transforms believers by renewing their minds and shaping their lives. You’ll learn about the key traits of an effective teacher, including the spiritual gifts of discernment and patience, and how the teacher’s methodical approach builds upon the teachings of Jesus, the apostles, and prophets. Whether you’re called to teach or simply seeking a deeper understanding of this essential ministry, this lesson will equip you to recognize and embrace the transformative power of the teacher’s role in the Body of Christ.
Lesson 9: The Ministry Gift of Teacher, Part 2
In The Ministry Gift of Teacher, Part 2, we continue exploring the essential role of the five-fold teacher within the Church. This lesson uncovers the deeper responsibilities of a teacher, highlighting how their knowledge must always be aligned with the revelation of the Holy Spirit, not just intellectual reasoning. Teachers are reminded to stay humble, avoiding the trap of pride and intellectualism, and to ensure they teach with pure motivation—seeking God’s glory, not personal accolades. You’ll also gain insight into the pitfalls that can lead to false teaching and the safeguards teachers must implement to avoid deception. As a teacher, your calling is a weighty responsibility, requiring both reverence and a commitment to impart the Word of God with truth and love. This lesson equips you with the practical tools to teach with integrity and deep spiritual insight, safeguarding both your heart and the hearts of those you instruct.
Lesson 10: The Ministry Gift of Pastor, Part 1

Prepare to deepen your understanding of the pastoral ministry and discover how to restore the true calling of shepherding in the church.

Lesson 11: The Ministry Gift of Pastor, Part 2
In this powerful session, you will dive deep into the Biblical role and function of the pastor in the Ekklesia, correcting misconceptions caused by tradition and institutionalized religion. Discover the true heart of the shepherd as we explore the restoration of God's original design for church leadership—focused on collaboration, empowerment, and the pastoral gift as it was intended. Learn how the modern understanding of pastors has been distorted and how we can realign with the Word to create leaders who truly serve and equip God's people. Don't miss this transformative teaching—your understanding of pastoral ministry will never be the same!
Lesson 12: The Ministry Gift of Evangelist
The Ministry Gift of the Evangelist plays a pivotal role in God's kingdom, especially in these end times. While the roles of the apostle, prophet, teacher, and pastor are foundational within the church, the evangelist is called to take the message of Christ beyond the church walls. The evangelist's mission is to bring the Gospel to the lost, to deliver the good news of salvation, and to heal those who are bound by sin, sickness, and oppression. This ministry is marked by a powerful demonstration of faith, where signs and wonders follow the preaching of the Word, bringing transformation to individuals and communities alike. Looking ahead, there will be a mighty outpouring of the evangelistic anointing as God prepares His people for the great end-time harvest. Jesus Christ Himself is the ultimate Evangelist, showing us how to preach with power, perform miracles, and deliver those in bondage. The legacy of evangelists like Philip and Stephen reveals the heart of this calling—preaching the Gospel with passion, compassion, and boldness, all while winning souls for the kingdom. As you reflect on this ministry, consider if you feel called to be an instrument in God's plan, to share His good news and witness lives transformed through the power of the Gospel.
