Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts


The United Methodist website has a link to help us discover our spiritual gifts and how those gifts might help us in participating in a ministry through the church. The link explains what spiritual gifts are and provides a spiritual gift assessment that only takes a couple of minutes to complete. Following the assessment, it will show what your top spiritual gifts are.

Every new member class at our church spends time completing a spiritual gift inventory during one of our sessions together. It's a very helpful tool which encourages us to put our faith into action through the life of the church.

Every fall, our church sends a "Prayers, Presences, Gifts, Service, & Witness" stewardship commitment form to the people in our congregation to complete in preparation for the upcoming calendar year. For "service" we provide a list of over one hundred ministry opportunities. By knowing what our spiritual gifts are, we are better able to choose ministries that line up with how God uniquely created us to serve in ministry.
