What pastors are saying
“Paul does not do the ministry that he does without Barnabas. God sees to it that all of us have a part in the fulfillment of the Great Commission.”
“The role of the pastor is to teach and preach the Word of God so the people of God can grow up into spiritual maturity and follow his leadership to do the work of the ministry, both inside and outside the church walls.”

“Church is never mundane when you're fulfilling the ministry God has gifted you for.”
