Each of us has many gifts. As Paul stated in his letter to the Romans, each of us receives gifts, spiritual and physical, that can be used to further the kingdom of God. Romans 12:4-6 “For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we being many are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given us, let us use them…”
Use Your Gifts Become an Elder or a Deacon: Elders: An Elder is a spiritual leader who helps discern God’s direction for the church and supports staff as they implement the church’s ministries. Deacons: a Deacon is a spiritual leader who shares God’s love with the church and throughout our community.
