Why the Five-Fold Ministry Still Matters: A Biblical and Historical Perspective

In this episode, Dr. Joseph Mattera unpacks the biblical and historical foundations of the five-fold ministry—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—as outlined in Ephesians 4. Are these roles still relevant today, or were they only for the early church? Why did God give these specific gifts to the body of Christ—and what happens when they are neglected?

Drawing from Scripture and church history, this teaching explores the original intent behind each office, how they function in a healthy church ecosystem, and why reclaiming these roles is essential for equipping the saints, building the church, and advancing the Kingdom in our generation.
