Abstract
This project’s aim was to develop a biblical understanding of the spiritual gifts at WCBC in Centurion, South Africa, to facilitate effective ministry. Chapter 1 presents the background and ministry context of the said church, as well as the goals for this project. Chapter 2 supports the thesis that God’s Spirit has endowed every believer with a unique spiritual giftedness to empower his ministry in the church in service of fellow saints to God’s glory alone. This was accomplished by exegeting certain key passages of Scripture (especially 1 Cor 12–14), which undergirds the cessationist position. Chapter 3 considers historical, philosophical, and practical issues that impact the project and its implementation. Chapter 4 provides the details and description of the project, from preparation through implementation and measuring improvement in understanding. Chapter 5 concludes with an evaluation of this project with specific focus on the efficacy upon ministry.
