We are an apostolic ministry, and the purpose of this page is to bring together those who have a desire to grow into biblical spiritual maturity in accordance with Ephesians 4:7-16, under the establishment of a Five-Fold Ministry in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. Our desire is to return to the actual biblical church [ekklesia] government established by Jesus Christ [Yeshua HaMashiach] in Matthew 16:1
5-18. This is also expressed by His apostles in the book of Acts and other apostolic epistles, where members are cared for and trained to utilise their “gifting’s” in a core team or assembly so that they are established and built-up for the purpose of ministry. The Five-Fold Ministry offices, as stated in the book of Ephesians 4:11, are not titles but functions and “gifts” to the body of Christ by Jesus Himself. This is the government system which was implemented by the apostles in the New Testament. The Apostle Peter said “take time to make your calling and election sure” (2 Peter 1:10). The word calling means “invitation” and the word election means the “act of God’s choosing”. Scriptural basis for the Five-Fold Ministry is Ephesians 4:11-13, which states:
"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." Each person within the Five-Fold Ministry is an actual “gift” and a container of “grace” provided by Jesus Christ for the equipping, edification, and the maturing of the body of Christ. ALL five gifts are desperately needed in the church today “until” the church, both individually and corporately, grow into the full measure and maturity of Christ. Only then will the church be equipped to be God’s agent on the earth and complete its God-given mandate. If you are someone who has a desire in your heart to be part of the first Five-Fold Ministry in Harrogate, please contact Jimmy & Susan Capel at their details below:
