I believe that the goal of the Church is equip the body of Christ for ministry and to make disciples focused on loving others and sharing Christ. I feel that these objectives are met not only as the local church meets collectively for worship, but also as individuals meet in small groups for fellowship and discipleship. I believe a minister's role is to serve the local church, not by attempting to do everything by himself, but by "equipping the saints for the work of the ministry (Ephesians 4:12)," teaching the Word of God and ministering to the needs of the body.
