The gifts God gives are varied. Some are very public, some are not. All are significant. Paul likens our gifts to parts of a body. Each part is important.
None can exist for long without the others.
The move toward more and more of a professional ministry is a move further and further from the Biblical truth. I noticed a cartoon several years ago in Leadership magazine. Ministry is not about US . . . . God has given us gifts so we might enrich each other and glorify Him. The church is healthy to the degree that the people of the church are involved in ministry.
