One Mission, Many Gifts // Pastor Blaine Keene

You are God's gift! God's GRACE for the Church: Everything flows from grace given through Jesus Christ. (v. 7) God's GIFTS for the Church: Jesus has given the gifts of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Shepherds/Pastors and Teachers (APEST) to the church. God's GOAL for the Church: To equip, build up and mature the body of Christ so we can embody the presence of Christ to the world. "There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it." -Ephesians 4:5-7 NIV
