The purpose of church leadership Paul explains is “to equipped his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up” Ephesians 4:11-13
This reveals that the church isn’t meant to be a spectator sport where professional Christians perform for an audience, but a training ground where every believer is equipped for ministry. Growth happens as each member actively participates in the body’s (church) life and mission.
Actively being in the keyword!
Actively can mean many different things just being present and ready to serve the Lord, serving him as a teacher, prayer warrior, door holder, usher. The list goes on and on, but your mind must be ready to receive what the Lord has for you when you walk through the doors.
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 fulness of Christ:
Ephesians 4:11-13 KJV
