            and precious to him – you also like living stones, are being built into a

            spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices

            acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.   1 Peter 2:4-5

We pay certain individuals in our congregation in order that they may dedicate their full efforts to helping to equip the body of Christ here in Collinsville.

            It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some

            to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s

            people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until

            we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become

            mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.  Ephesians 4:11-13
