Chris.
We all need to be growing through Teaching of the Word of God. This is one of the very important parts of the Early Church life and should also be a part of our lives. The Ministry of Teacher in the Church is sometimes neglected in these days but it is a very necessary Ministry. If the Senior Pastor is not anointed and gifted as a Teacher then the Local Church should bring in either visiting Teachers or a Teaching Pastor to help the people grow in the Lord under the care of the Senior Pastor.
