Spiritual Gifts
We believe that all believers have spiritual gifts, abilities
and talents that are God-given for the purpose of building up
and edifying the Body as well as furthering its mission in the
world. We believe that an element of spiritual maturity and a
goal of discipleship is one's developing the desire and conviction
to use one's gifts for ministry to others, especially within the
Body. Many have adopted a mindset in which the purpose of going
to be with the church is self focused. We believe that a biblical
and spiritually mature perspective is that one seeks to be with
the church for the purpose of ministry. We believe that a healthy
house church structure not only promotes the use of spiritual
gifts but also requires the use of spiritual gifts to function
properly
