God has given each Christian
two important gifts
FIRST GIFT: FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST
at Calvary cross – the forgiveness of sin
SECOND GIFTS: GIFTS ARE TO BE USED
 to build the body of Christ
 Grow God’s Kingdom
These are Spiritual Gifts. God gives them to us through the
work of the Holy Spirit.

Scripture References:
•The Apostle Paul addresses the presence of spiritual
gifts in three main sections of scripture: Romans 12, I
Corinthians 12, and Ephesians 4. Peter also verifies their
existence in I Peter 4:10. Through these sections of
scripture, we learn that all Christians have been given at
least one spiritual gift. The purpose of spiritual gifts is
twofold: (1) to unify Christians in their faith and (2) to produce
growth within the church, both numerical and spiritual. These
gifts are to be used out of love for one another, and in service
to one another.

The Spiritual Gift Assessment:
The Spiritual Gift Assessment is an exercise that
assists you in the discovery of your God given
Spiritual Gift.
These are activated in areas of ministry where you
will be most effective.
The tool helps you open your gifts through scripture
reference and the self-assessment inventory.
New Members Orientation
May the special abilities God has given you
be deployed in areas of ministry where they
will be most effective for the good of the
entire church body.
These gifts should also be affirmed by the
body and utilized by the one who is gifted.
Amen
