A worker is a man or a woman filled
with wisdom, understanding and skill to work in a particular capacity in the
body of Christ. 1king 7:14
Included in this category are
members of the choir, the ushers, the Sunday School Teachers and children
Teachers etc.

Pastor for the glory of God. 2 Cor 8:23
A worker is someone who presents
himself to God for service. 2Tim2:15
