Church Distinctions
This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. (1 Corinthians 4:1)
Servants at The Mill Hamilton
We believe that every position of service is a vocation, and something that the Holy Spirt puts upon the hearts of His Redeemed (Ephesians 2:10, Matthew 12:18, Matthew 24:46, John 12:26). Although there may be distinct roles of spiritual authority within the structure Christ has instituted in His Church, we are all many members of One Body, and each position of service is not only significant but imperative for the overall health of the Ekklēsia in its entirety with no one position being higher valued over another (Ephesians 4:4-7, Ephesians 4:11-12). We are all bondservants of One Master (1 Corinthians 7:22) and must not be quarrelsome but be kind to one another, patiently and compassionately serving by the grace of God that has been showed to us in Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 2:24-25, Ephesians 4:32).
