St. Paul's Lutheran Church
Spiritual Gifts
God has shaped each of us with unique strengths, passions, and ways of serving. Often, our spiritual gifts are revealed not only in what we are able to do, but in what gives us energy and joy. As you complete this assessment, pay attention to where you come alive. Those areas of energy may be clues to how God has especially gifted you to bless others.
​
The twenty question survey below will not only help you discover your unique spiritual gifts, but also suggest ministries at St. Paul's that match those gifts. You'll see the immediate results in addition to having a copy sent to your email address along with the church office.
