This is an organizational gift that helps the church fulfill its purpose. Those with the gift of administration (coordination of people and projects) are good at bringing order and efficiency to a project, maintaining systems and putting people in proper positions. An example of someone leading through administration would be a person delegating tasks to those who can well do the job (Acts 6:1-4).

"Apostolic"/Missional Leadership
Those gifted in "apostolic" or missional leadership are pioneers, seeking to open new frontiers of mission and expand the church’s outreach to new people groups (i.e., unreached ethnic, religious, or generational groups). These missional leaders often serve as foreign missionaries, domestic church planters, or vision setters for the church’s mission in established congregations (Acts 14:1f). In this study, it is the function of going out and leading the church into new mission fields that is intended.

Discernment
This gift equips one to know instinctively what is going on beyond the surface, whether of a situation or an individual. Those with the gift of discernment have the ability to determine genuineness or phoniness. An example of leading through discernment would be a person judging that someone wants to be in a position of leadership out of a wrong motive (1 Jn. 4:1-3).

Evangelism
Those gifted in evangelism are effective in sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with the lost and helping them come to faith in some way. An example of leading through evangelism would be a person telling someone what Christ has done in his or her own life (Jn. 4:39-42).

Helping
This gift prepares one to build up and support a person in what they are trying to accomplish. Unlike service, which is primarily task oriented, helping is primarily about helping a person. An example of leading through helping would be lightening the loads of those who are getting behind in their work by working alongside them (Phil. 4:3).

Knowledge
This gift equips one to discover and understand the Scriptures and biblical concepts that help people acknowledge God and follow his ways. An example of leading through knowledge would be having insight into some biblical truth (2 Tim. 2:7) and then sharing this insight with someone or living it out in one’s own life.

Leadership
Just as there are evangelists but all are called to make disciples, so there is a gift of leadership, though all are called to lead through the Spiritual gifts which they have been given. This gift equips one to influence others in such a way that they willingly follow this person, often by painting a vision of the ministry or project. An example of leading through the gift of leadership would be initiating an annual mission trip and inspiring others to participate in this ministry (Acts 18:18).

Pastoral Care/Shepherding
Those gifted in pastoral care and shepherding naturally seek to guide, guard, and nurture people in the Christian faith. It should be noted that one can have the gift of shepherding without being an officially recognized shepherd, just as one can be an evangelist without being a paid preacher. This gift describes the function of shepherding, not an office. An example of leading through shepherding is consistently seeking out those who need Spiritual guidance and helping them follow God (Acts 20:28-31).

Prophetic Ministry
Those gifted in prophetic ministry feel compelled to call people back to God, providing correction and upholding right and wrong, often in regards to social justice. It is not foretelling the future, but speaking the words of God. Historically, these lonely voices have been marginalized by God’s people and need to be affirmed in their role. An example of leading through prophetic ministry would be calling the church out because of its neglect of the poor (Amos 5:11-13).

Service
This gift equips one to do practical jobs that others may deem to be tedious or beneath them, but that actually very much need to be done. This gift is to be distinguished from helping by its focus on tasks, whereas helping is more focused on lending assistance to a person. An example of leading through service is cleaning the church building, sharpening pencils for the pews, or folding bulletins (Jn. 13:3-5).

Speaking
This gift equips one to be able to publicly communicate in an inspiring, productive, or convincing manner, particularly in regards to biblical truths. Speaking is one way communication, whereas teaching is interactive. An example of leading through speaking is convincing an audience that Jesus is the Son of God (Acts 18:24-28).

Teaching
Those gifted in teaching are able to deepen people’s understanding of God’s truths through instruction of Scripture and life sharing, enabling people to be shaped into the image of Christ. Teaching is primarily interactive communication, whereas speaking is more one way. An example of leading through teaching is helping a group of Christians to better understand a passage of Scripture (Acts 20:7-11). While it is possible that "teacher" was an office (e.g., Acts 13:1; Jam. 3:1; 1 Tim. 2:7), this study defines the gift of teaching in terms of function.

Wisdom
This gift equips one to make wise life choices and to help others to do the same. An example of leading through wisdom is correctly choosing the right course of action when faced with multiple options (1 Kings 3:16-29).
