In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the role of the five-fold ministerial offices - apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher - in helping bring increased revelation to the Body of Christ. While all five offices are important, the office of pastor (particularly a local, assigned pastor) is the one to which every believer should be most closely connected. The pastoral office is designed to protect, edify, encourage and, yes, even correct believers. By honoring the office of pastor - not simply the man or woman occupying it - we make ourselves available to receive of the revelation flowing through that office and, as a result, position ourselves to grow and mature spiritually.
