God has blesssed each of us with different spiritual gifts, skills, or abilities. He has given these spiritual gifts to us so we can connect with others and serve those around us. When people hear of “spiritual gifts” they might think of 1st Corinthians 12, the gifts of the Holy Spirit. In addition to these gifts, there are many other skills that God blesses us with and this test can help you learn of gifts and skills you have or confirm what you already know about your abilities. This test is not the absolute authority, but we do reccommend it to get you thinking! As with anything, prayerfully consider the results you recieve and how to apply them in your life and at New Day so you can better connect with others by serving those around you!
Here is a link to the test:

Here is a link to the definitions and Biblical references supporting each of the 28 gifts found on this test:

The next step is finding a way to use your gift!
SERVE Sundays, which happen once a year, are a great time to find out what areas need help at New Day and to get plugged in to our community. If you missed the last SERVE Sunday, call the church at 343-2102 or contact Sarah Gerber at sarah[at]newdaycommunity.org to find out how to get invovled now!
