Four core ministry positions in a church are ________.

• A. Eldership; Teachers; Musicians; and Auxiliary Workers
• B. Eldership; Pastors; Deacons; and Ushers
• C. Priests; Elders; Deacons; and Singers
• D. Pastors; Teachers; Musicians; and Admin Staff

Answer: (A)

The main concept here is recognizing the four foundational ministry functions that sustain a church: governance and shepherding, accurate teaching, worship leadership, and coordinated support services. The best set names Eldership to provide oversight and spiritual guidance; Teachers to equip the congregation with sound doctrine; Musicians to lead and shape worship; and Auxiliary Workers to organize and enable the various serving roles that keep ministry running. Together, these four cover governance, instruction, worship, and service, which is why this option fits best. Other sets mix in roles like Pastors, Deacons, Ushers, Singers, or Admin Staff, which either duplicate governance, focus on a narrower service task, or use terms not aligned with this core quartet.
