Welcome to the School of the Five-Fold Ministry

This course is a study in the call and ministry of the apostle, prophet, and pastor. To best understand the apostle’s calling we need to move beyond an obscure teaching that says, “He’s a missionary.” To do this we will study the work (ministry) of an apostle. His actions will define the grace on his life and, by looking at his work, will define who he is. The lessons have been carefully laid out to progressively lead you into an understanding of the apostle’s, prophets, and pastor's unique ministry, how they impacts the local church, and what you can expect when you work with an Five-Fold minister. “And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues” (1 Corinthians 12:28). The defining scripture of the Five-Fold ministry is.,"Ephesians 4:9-13 (KJV)
