The Congregation
Because every believer is a minister, we are all “on staff.” Some of us have the privilege of spending more time than others involved in the work of the local church but all of us are involved in the ongoing work of the kingdom. In God’s world there is no difference between the sacred and the secular. We are all part of his “priesthood.”
