Spiritual Gifts Survey

Want to know what your spiritual gifts are? Want to be prepared as Pastor Myke continues his 3-part teaching series ‘What’s My Role in the Church’ from 1 Peter 4:8-11 this Sunday, January 2nd?  Download this survey, complete it, and determine what YOUR spiritual gifts are.  

Note:

• This is not a test, so there are no wrong answers.
• As you work through the questions, don’t over think the questions. Go with your first, gut instinct answers. Usually, the first answer is the BEST answer.
• Then tally up your score on the last page to see what your primary (highest score) and secondary spiritual gifts (2nd and 3rd highest scores) are.  

After you assess your spiritual gifts, please pray about how you might use those gifts to serve the church and grow God’s kingdom. Ask God to help you know how He has gifted you for service and how you can begin to use your gift in ministry to others.
