The active goal of ministry is continuously work to present every person complete in Christ. The guiding scripture that refers to the goal of ministry in the church is Ephesians 4. 'It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.' (Ephesians 4:11-16).

 

Christ has given gifted people to the body, to prepare people for works of service, so that together they can reach unity and maturity. Here at Greater Mount Bethel the emphasis is on the body functioning together as each person does their work; each individual operating in the area of their spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12).
