This is not a test!   Please read through all 60 statements slowly and prayerfully, and see if they characterize yourself and your spiritual gifts.  Remember, in time we all learn and grow in our God-given gifts through the power of the Holy Spirit and in our willingness to serve, and as we begin to apply them.

After you have read through these statements, please follow through with the Mission 21 Strategic Plan Survey.  Select the areas that you would like to serve. You are not alone.  There will be orientation and training to help you be successful.
