School of Equipping
Ephesians 4:12-15 states that the fivefold ministry‘s responsibility is to equip the saints for the work of the ministry, for building up the body of Christ until we all attain the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, coming into the measure of the fullness of Christ. The whole point of the fivefold is to bring people to maturity so that they are no longer children tossed to and fro, carried about with every wind of doctrine, growing up in all things into Him who is the head, Christ.
