Equipping vs. Serving: Are You Ready for Full-Time Ministry?

• Posted By James MacDonald on August 6, 2009

One of the key ministry values here at Harvest is recognizing the difference between equipping and serving. Serving is great, but serving is not the primary calling of a full-time pastor. The primary job of a pastor is not to do the work of the ministry, but to “equip the saints for the work of the ministry” (Ephesians 4:12).  Check out the video below for more on this distinction.
