Each of us brings different gifts to God's table. Everyone has something to offer. This survey is intended as a starting place for discerning what your spiritual gifts might be. This survey is not meant to exist in a vacuum; our Spiritual Gifts Team should work with you in this process. After this, there is a longer version that goes into greater detail about your possible spiritual gifts.
