Leaders

We believe that God gives Ministry Gifts to His Church and that these Gifts are men and women (Eph 4:11,12 Phil 1;1-2) The Gifts are apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, elders and deacons. We are blessed at Bromsgrove New Life Church in that these Gifts are present in our own membership besides being supplemented by visiting "Gift" men and women.

We believe that the church can only grow in blessing as God intended when all these "Gifts" are used in the local church. We do not believe in a ministry elite or division between "clergy" and "laity" but strongly believe in "the priesthood of all believers" (Rev 1:6). We do not believe that some members are more or less important than others but accept that they will differ in gift and function as equipped by God.
