God didn't just save you. He shaped you. Before you were born, He was already knitting together a specific combination of gifts, passions, and experiences that the world — and this church — actually needs. You're not here to fill a seat. You're here to find and fulfill the purpose for which God designed you.
Spiritual gifts are God-given abilities that He places in every believer to build up the church and extend His kingdom. They're not about talent or personality — they're about what the Holy Spirit has uniquely equipped you to do. If you're new to this idea, don't overthink it. Think of it as God's fingerprint on the way you serve.
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time for us to do."— Ephesians 2:10 (CSB)
We use a spiritual gifts assessment through Planning Center — a simple, guided tool that helps you identify where God may be calling you to serve. It only takes about ten minutes, and it asks questions most people actually enjoy thinking about. No pressure, no wrong answers — just an honest look at how God has wired you.
Once you complete the assessment, we use them to connect you with real serving opportunities that match how you're gifted. Whether your gifts point you toward teaching, serving, encouraging, or leading, there's a place for you here — and we want to help you find it.
"According to the grace given to us, we have different gifts: If prophecy, use it according to the proportion of one's faith; if service, use it in service; if teaching, in teaching."
— Romans 12:6–7 (CSB)
Take the spiritual gifts assessment — it's free, it's fast, and it might be one of the most clarifying things you do this year.
