Spiritual Gifts
Discover how God has uniquely gifted you to serve and build up the church.
This spiritual gifts assessment can help you discover the unique ways God has gifted you to serve and build up the church — the body of Christ.
God invites all of us to use our gifts and abilities so that together we can accomplish His mission, serve one another, and glorify the Lord. Identifying our gifts — and even discovering new ones — helps us grow and become more effective in ministry.
Use the online assessment and download the gift descriptions below to discover your gifts and see what the Bible says about each one.
What the Bible Says about Spiritual Gifts
Paul's basic description of a spiritual gift can be found in 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, but the concept is taught in several other key New Testament passages as well.
- Each believer is given at least one gift. (1 Corinthians 12:7)
- The Holy Spirit determines who receives which gifts. (1 Corinthians 12:11)
- Each gift is equally valuable. (1 Corinthians 12:21-26)
- We are to use our gifts to serve others for the benefit of the body of Christ. (Romans 12:6-8; Ephesians 4:12)
- We are commanded to use our gifts. (1 Peter 4:10)
- Exercising our gifts will help us develop spiritual maturity. (Ephesians 4:13)
Next Steps
After completing the assessment and reviewing the descriptions and scriptures, here are some next steps you can take to continue developing your gifts.
Pray.
Ask God to reveal His gifts through the Holy Spirit, and remember that He often uses other believers to help affirm them. Pray for opportunities to use your gifts and continue growing in them.
Go for it!
The best way to develop your gifts is to put them into action. This doesn’t have to happen through an “official” church ministry — opportunities to serve are everywhere when you open yourself, and your calendar, to God’s calling and mission.
