What does it mean that God gives gifts to the church?

Answered in 1 source

God gives gifts to the church to equip and edify believers for ministry and service.

The giving of gifts to the church is a demonstration of God’s grace and a means of enabling His people to fulfill their calling. As outlined in Ephesians 4, God appoints various leaders and members within the church with specific gifts to edify the body of Christ. These gifts are intended for the perfecting of saints, the work of ministry, and building up the church. Each member, endowed with the Holy Spirit, plays a vital role, illustrating the unity and diversity within the body. This divine provision ensures that the church is equipped to spread the gospel and serve its community effectively, reflecting the character of Christ through its members.
