The Five Fold ministry is addressed in Ephesians 4. The Bible is clear that only some are appointed to these 5 positions. People can not just BE one of the Five Fold. Some recognition of this appointment by a representation of the Body of Christ is critical.

Although different denominations call their Church leaders different names, the biblical reference to a leader of a church is Elder.

Deacons are appointed by Eldership.

The Bible is clear that it is good to desire these positions. It is positions of servant-hood and overseeing the Children of God.
