A "solid church" can be defined as an impregnable and closely-knit body of believers in which every part is adequately catered for and empowered to function efficiently. There are many dysfunctional churches around with members sitting idly on Sunday mornings. The five-fold ministry should equip the saints for the work of the ministry and edify the Body of Christ, so that it can grow into the stature of the fullness of Christ. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:18-19
