Ministries
The New Testament ideal is everyone serving God. Peter tells us followers of Jesus are God’s priests (1Pet2:5,9). John tells us followers of Jesus have been made into a kingdom of priests (Rev1:6). Paul tells us the saints (i.e., Christians) are to do the work of ministry (Eph4:11-16). Therefore the contemporary dichotomy between “paid staff” (i.e., clergy) and “everyone else” (i.e., laity) is not a Biblical one.
Yet no one becomes a Christian and instantly knows all there is to know about loving God and what flows out of that choice. Therefore we have a variety of ministries at New Life to assist us in loving God and loving others.
