If you’re unsure where to serve, we encourage you to take our Spiritual Gifts Test! This test is designed to help you discover the unique abilities God has given you and how they can be used to serve within the church.

By answering a series of questions, you’ll gain insight into your strengths and how they align with different ministry opportunities. Whether you’re new to faith or have been serving for years, this test can guide you in finding a meaningful place to contribute.

The test is comprehensive (over 100 questions), so we recommend setting aside enough time to complete it without interruptions.
