This excerpt from Robert Little’s book (https://theendlessbookcase.com/books/re-imagining-preaching-and-leading-worship/), outlines a Baptist understanding of church life, emphasising the priesthood of all believers where every Christian is called to ministry. It discusses the nature of leadership, highlighting shared responsibility and appointment by the church, while also defining the role of pastors as primarily teachers and equippers. The text explores the historical and contemporary understanding of wider ministries, including regional ministers and lay preachers, alongside the fundamental Baptist commitment to mission through evangelism and social action. Finally, it considers the challenges of growing the church in a post-Christian society and details the responsibilities of church membership.
