Building on the Spiritual Gifts Inventory we hope you completed last year, please answer the questions that follow. This is our next step in helping you understand where you are spiritually and how God has gifted you to serve Him through TRUMC. If you did not complete the survey or do not remember your results, we urge you to complete it again (it will take about 15 minutes). Go to trenholmroad.org, click on the "Serve " tab and then click "Spiritual Gifts Inventory."

Even if you are already serving in a recurring leadership position, we ask you to complete the survey since this will be important to us ongoing. With any questions or concerns, please contact the Lay Leadership team, or Beth Corley specifically. (bethcorley402@gmail.com)

Results from Spiritual Gifts Inventory *

Please mark the top 3 spiritual gifts from results of the survey you completed last year. If you did not complete the survey or do not remember your results, we urge you to complete the survey again (it will take about 15 minutes). Go to www.trenholmroad.org, click on the “Serve” tab and then click “Spiritual Gifts Assessment.”

Alternatively, you may prayerfully consider the definitions of the gifts given below. Then indicate the top 3 that you have discerned through your Discipleship service to be your grace and joy-filled gifts.

Administration—the gift of organizing human and material resources for the work of Christ, including the ability to plan and work with people to delegate responsibilities.

Apostleship—the gift of spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ to other cultures and to foreign lands. Apostleship is the missionary zeal that moves us from the familiar into uncharted territory to share the good news.

Compassion—the gift of exceptional empathy with those in need that moves us to action. More than just concern, compassion demands that we share the suffering of others.

Discernment—the ability to separate truth from erroneous teachings and to rely on spiritual intuition to know what God is calling us to do.

Evangelism—the ability to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with those who have not heard it before or with those who have not yet made a decision for Christ, in both one-on-one situations and in group settings.

Exhortation—the gift of exceptional encouragement. Exhorters see the silver lining in every cloud, offer deep and inspiring hope to the fellowship, and look for and commend the best in everyone.

Faith—the exceptional ability to hold fast to the truth of God in Jesus Christ in spite of pressures, problems, and obstacles to faithfulness. More than just belief, faith is a gift that empowers.

Giving—the gift of the ability to manage money to the honor and glory of God, discerning the best ways to put money to work.

Healing—the gift of conducting God’s healing powers into the lives of God’s people. Physical, emotional, spiritual, and psychological healing are all ways that healers manifest this gift. Healers are prayerful.

Helping—the gift of making sure that everything is ready for the work of Christ to occur. These unsung heroes work behind the scenes and attend to details that others would rather not be bothered with.

Knowledge—the gift of knowing the truth through faithful study of Scripture and the human situation. Knowledge provides the information necessary for the transformation of the world and the formation of the body of Christ.

Leadership—the gift of orchestrating the gifts and resources of others to accomplish the work of God. Leaders move people toward a God-given vision of service, and they enable others to use their gifts to the best of their abilities.

Miracles—the gift of an ability to operate at a spiritual level that recognizes the miraculous work of God in the world. Miracle workers invoke God’s power to accomplish that which appears impossible or impractical by worldly standards.

Prophecy—the gift of speaking the word of God clearly and faithfully. Prophets allow God to speak through them to communicate the message that people most need to hear, proclaiming God’s future by revealing God’s perspective on our current reality.

Servanthood—the gift of serving the spiritual and material needs of other people. Servants understand their role in the body of Christ to be that of giving comfort and aid to all who are in need.

Shepherding—the gift of guidance. Shepherds nurture others in the Christian faith and provide a mentoring relationship to those who are new to the faith.

Teaching—the gift of bringing scriptural and spiritual truths to others. More than just teaching Christian education classes, teachers witness to the truth of Jesus Christ in a variety of ways.

Wisdom—the gift of translating life experience into spiritual truth and of seeing the application of scriptural truth to daily living. The wise in our faith communities offer balance and understanding that transcend reason.
