What is a fivefold minister?
Fivefold ministers (prophets, pastors, evangelists, teachers, or apostles) “equip the saints for the work of ministry” and bring the Body of Christ to maturity (Ephesians 4:11, 12). They are recognized as having a discernible and functioning anointing—the power and presence of Jesus. Fivefold ministers have been affirmed by their local elders, called by the Lord, and commissioned to work alongside local elders to identify, acknowledge, and stir up the diverse giftings within the Body of Christ.
Designed for
- People who are already functioning in the fivefold but want to advance to the next level of ministry.
- Individuals who sense a calling and anointing to be a prophet, pastor, evangelist, teacher, or apostle and need direction.
- Pastors who want their local church to be a fivefold ministry training center.
- Experienced fivefold ministers.
- Those involved in trans-local ministry.
