Spiritual Gifts and Church Ministry

This course offers a theological and practical exploration of spiritual gifts as they relate to the life, health, and ministry of the Church. From a Reformed perspective, it emphasizes that spiritual gifts are sovereignly given by the Holy Spirit for the building up of the body of Christ and the advancement of the gospel.

Students will study the primary biblical passages on spiritual gifts (Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12–14, Ephesians 4, 1 Peter 4) and explore the distinction between temporary (sign) gifts and ordinary (edifying) gifts.

Special attention is given to equipping leaders to guide their congregations in gift discovery, ministry placement, and mutual edification.
