Have you heard about Spiritual Gifts and wondered what they are all about? Spiritual gifts are attributes given to Christian believers for the building up of the whole body of Christ. Spiritual gifts are not talents or skills. “These fruits and gifts are not of our own achievement. They and others are the outgrowth of the Spirit's work in us, by grace, through our faith in Jesus the Christ. And they are not given for personal gain. Through these fruits and gifts, the Holy Spirit empowers us for ministry in the world” (United Methodist Member's Handbook, Revised by George Koehler [Discipleship Resources, 2006], 84-85).
It’s important to discover your spiritual gifts and the spiritual gifts of others. God does not give us these extraordinary abilities to hide under a bushel or stow away in a closet, but to use them in service to God and neighbor.
The “Spiritual Gifts” survey is a confidential process to help each individual identify their spiritual gifts strengths as specifically related to ministry and service in Central United Methodist Church.
The Spiritual Gifts survey’s primary purpose is to enable each member to identify areas of ministry for which you are most likely gifted. It is not designed to be an exhaustive analysis of spiritual gifts, but rather to highlight areas of strength based on what you feel motivates you spiritually.
