"And he gave some as apostles, others as prophets, others as evangelists,
others as pastors and teachers, to equip the holy ones for the
work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,
until we all attain to the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God,
to mature manhood, to the extent of the full stature of Christ."

Ephesians 4:11-13
