Which statement best describes the church community's view on members' contributions?

• A. Leaders contribute
• B. All members have something to offer
• C. Only volunteers contribute
• D. Visitors do not contribute

Answer: (B)

Every member brings a gift and has something to contribute to the church community. This view recognizes that contributions come in many forms, from leadership and formal ministry to hospitality, prayer, generosity, and everyday acts of service. When you say all members have something to offer, you acknowledge that each person’s gifts—however big or small—strengthen the group and help it function as a healthy body. Leaders and volunteers contribute, but limiting contribution to those roles misses the breadth of participation, and visitors can contribute through their presence and interactions as well. Therefore, this statement best describes the community's inclusive understanding of contribution.
