According to Ephesians 4:12 the gift of pastors and teachers etc. is to equip the saints “for the work of the ministry.” Here Paul includes all the saints in the work of the ministry. This verse stresses the priesthood of all believers (Numbers 11:29) and reminds us that the ministry of any church does not rest on the pastor and elders, but is shared by all the members. Pastor and people sink or swim together and the growth of the church is the responsibility of the people as well as the pastor. Ways in which we can serve in the local church and use our gifts include; visiting and hosting the saints and unconverted, evangelism, advertising, inviting, tract distribution, (etc.) and encouraging the saints by consistent regular attendance.
