The Christian Ministry  

1Timothy 3:1-14

 1This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.    2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;    3Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;    4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;    5(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)    6Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.    7Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.    8Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;    9Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.    10And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.    11Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.    12Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.    13For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.    14These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 

In the Christian Ministry, there are seven callings to which a person can have. Here are the callings below:

  1. Apostle – This title is for those who are called to establish churches and then turns them over to a permanent pastor.

  2. Prophet – This title is for those who are called to bring revelational messages to God’s pastors and bishops. 

  3. Evangelist – This title is for those who are called to do ministry abroad.

  4. Pastor – This title is for those who are called to be overseers of a local church.

  5. Elder – This title is for those who are called to be administrators of the local church.

  6. Deacon – This title is generally associated with those who are called to teach but also those who handle the finances of the church as well as handling the maintenance of the church facilities.

  7. Teacher – This title is for those who are called to be just a person who teaches what they have learned.

  8. Bishop – This title is for those who are called to be overseers of many churches.
