Scripture Reference:
Ephesians 4:11-13 (NLT)
“11. Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles,
the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers.
12. Their responsibility is to equip God's people
to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ.
13.This will continue until we all come to such unity
in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard
of Christ. ”
