Discover Your Gifts
Finding Your Place at Grace
Our church community plays a unique, important role in our lives. It's a place for giving and receiving, for sharing and caring, and for helping each other become what God wishes us to be. Being a disciple means using your gifts to serve God and others. At Grace, we believe we have a responsibility to help our members discern and contribute their gifts.You are invited to participate in our Gifts Discernment program. This process will enable you to name your gifts, identify opportunities to use them inside and outside church, and receive support for your special ministry. This program is a great way to find your special place at Grace.
Gift Assessment
The first step in the process involves identifying your spiritual gifts. If you have already completed this exercise at another church, feel free to use that information to complete the Grace Church Gifts Assessment (pdf). If this is your first time to assess your gifts, please click here to reach the online assessment form. Enjoy yourself! Most people find this to be a very exciting and valuable exercise.The site will ask you to answer several questions, and will then provide a report showing the various gifts you have been given. You may print the form, circling your top 3 - 5 gifts. Write your name, phone number and email address on the completed form and on your next visit to Grace and place it in the golden box on the information kiosk by the East (parking lot) door.
Church Opportunities
A member of the Incorporation Team will use your information to compile a list of ministry opportunities available at Grace. They will provide you with a written summary and be available to review the information with you. Once you have had an opportunity to consider the various options, the member will offer to introduce you to the contact person for your ministry.If you would prefer to complete this process yourself, you may complete the questionnaire, review appropriate ministries and approach the contact person yourself. Every ministry team has a contact person; these names may be found in the Ministry Teams section of this website.
