How do I take the Assessment?

How do I take the Assessment? Go to our church website and click “Greater Gifts” in the menu at the top of our home page. There you’ll find two links. Click on the first one to take the Assessment. When the Assessment is complete, you’ll get description of your spiritual gifts. We encourage you to print it for yourself. Once you have your results, go back to the same webpage on our site and click the link that reports your spiritual gifts to David. If you don’t have access to a computer or you’re not computer savvy or you otherwise need help, please call the church office and we’ll assist you.

Reflection Questions Top 5 gifts? Bottom 5? What energizes you the most? If Jesus were in town doing what he did in Israel in the 1st century, where are you most drawn to join him? What in your congregation and community do you care enough about to get up and do something? What are you doing that draws on your lowest 5? When and how will you say “no” or change roles, so that you are acting out of your strongest gifts?

Why Spiritual Gifts? Helps you discover your call, your specific work of love Helps you with decision-making Help you to simplify your life and avoid burnout Frees you for the need to compare or judge Helps you excel in your job and cherish your loved ones Helps you to name what you are already experiencing

Imagine. . . . a congregation that thrives on the spiritual gifts of its people. . . .
