Spiritual Gifts Inventories

Did you know that the Bible lists several gifts or natural talents that are useful as followers of Christ?  Taking a look at these spiritual gifts can help you think about how your natural gifting can be useful in a ministry setting (or anywhere!).

There are several different spiritual gifts inventories and quizzes available online and in print.  Here are some you can try:

• Spiritual Gifts inventory from First United Methodist Church, Richardson, Texas
• Spiritual Gifts inventory from UMC Discipleship Ministries
• Gifting Questionnaire or Gifting Questionnaire for Students from Global Connections, UK (create a free account on the site to access the questionnaires)

Spend a few minutes reflecting on your results:

• Are you surprised by your results? In what way?
• If you are not surprised, how do you see these gifts in your life?
• Looking at the results as a group, how can you use your gifts to serve the church?
