“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ.”

— I Peter 4:10-11

The ministry of the local church isn’t to be carried out by a select few but by all followers of Jesus. In this way Christians model themselves after the Lord Jesus who didn’t come to be served but serve and give His life for many. The wonderful thing about the church is that all Christians are ministers of the gospel and empowered and gifted by the Spirit of God to serve the mission of the church in the places God has called them.

We’d love for you to become involved within Midtown by serving on a Sunday or during the week.
