How is God calling you to ministry?

What are your spiritual gifts? How do you know?

God calls all of us to ministry and He has provided you with a unique set of gifts to be used. You may have a pretty good idea of what your gifts are: perhaps you have the ability to plan and work with people – to delegate responsibilities, track progress, evaluate effectiveness of procedures, attend to details. If so, you might have the gift of administration. You might be a teacher or a leader or have exceptional empathy. Not sure? Try our on-line spiritual gifts survey. It will help. But, you also need to attend to this in prayer. Ask God to help you come to know your gifts and to give you the courage to apply them. It is totally private – only you will know the outcomes!

Take the spiritual gifts survey today!
