your spiritual gift

Answer the following questions to help determine which ministry areas may be the best fit for your personality and individual skills. Ministry should be personally rewarding in addition to serving others; this tool will help you identify particular areas that are a good fit for you.

Both your working gifts and your waiting gifts will be identified. Working gifts are gifts you are already using in some way. Waiting gifts are gifts which remain undeveloped but you do have potential in this area.

Once you finish the survey and click submit you will see instant results for ministry areas that mirror your top three personal strengths in both working and waiting gifts. Please note that not every ministry of Southminster Presbyterian Church is listed under each gift.
