Tendencies can change, unlike fingerprints. Discovering your personality tendencies helps to show what type of ministry involvement will suit you best. It’s normal to have attributes of more than one personality trait. Respond to each of the statements below according to this scale: 1 . 9 = For sure, that’s definitely me 6 = Frequently, a lot of the time 3 = Not very often 0 = No way, that’s definitely not me 2 . Once all responses have been entered, total up each column and write that total in the bottom square below the letters. The letters correspond to the personality type listed below.

We call our volunteers ‘partners’ because we are all in this together. The Bible says that we are a ‘body’ and we are all needed in order for God to do what He has in mind to do at Storehouse. The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. ...God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 1 Corinthians 12:12, 24-25 (NIV) You are uniquely designed and qualified for ministry. Your spiritual gifts combined with your unique personality traits will help you find where you are most likely to flourish as a volunteer. There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 (NIV) We have two areas of ministry involvement, “Strategic Partnership” & “Ministry Partnership”. Strategic partnership defines our core Sunday morning ministries. These ministries are essential for us to gather for worship. We ask everyone to serve on a Strategic Partnership team. Ministry Partnership defines all of the additional ministries at our church. Many members serve on both a Strategic Partnership team and a Ministry Partnership Team. Ministry Inventory The ministry inventory will provide an overview of the ministry teams at Storehouse. Many of the categories have subteams that are not listed. If you are interested in any of the ministry teams, contacts the pastor who oversees that area of ministry within the church. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV) 1 . 2 . Review the ministry inventory. Note which ministries will utilize your personality traits and spiritual gifts. Keep in mind that the ministry may be a good fit for you even if your gifts and traits are not listed. Pray about it and follow God’s leading. Mark the ministries that interest you. Pray through the list and narrow it down. Email the pastor who oversees that ministry department and inquire about partnering in ministry.
