“How To Equip Others” - Author Unknown
Evaluate, Qualify, Unite, Invest, Provide

When a pastor commits to EQUIP, the spirit of the church will be upbeat, positive, and faith building.

God gave at least five types of leaders to the church: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. They exist to complete the members’ growth and to equip them to serve (Ephesians 4:12-16). Their roles vary:

Apostle: One sent forth to pioneer and establish new works and new leaders

Prophet: One who speaks forth God’s Word to inspire, correct, and motivate

Evangelist: One who shares Christ with outsiders and trains others to do so

Pastor: One who shepherds, guides, and guards God’s people as they serve

Teacher: One who trains God’s people in the truth and teaches others to do so

When the church fills these five offices, ordinary people get equipped for ministry.

All who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ for their salvation have access to Him at any time. But at special times, Jesus specifically calls His leaders - those with a unique call of service in ministry - to see and hear special things, things they alone have the privilege to witness. It is a special trust with unique responsibilities.
