• A. Sometimes
• B. True
• C. Not sure
• D. False

Answer: (D)

Ministries are not limited to full-time church work; they encompass all acts of service Christians render to God and others. Scripture teaches that every believer is given gifts by the Spirit to build up the body and to serve in various contexts, not just in paid church roles. While some people are called to vocational church leadership (pastors, teachers, missionaries), the priesthood of all believers means ordinary followers ministry wherever God places them—at work, home, school, or in the community. This broader view is supported by passages describing many different gifts and functions within the body of Christ, all essential for functioning well together. So the statement is false because ministry includes both vocational and lay service, not only full-time vocations.
