Spiritual Gifts

Ever wonder what your spiritual gift(s)is?????

Go to http://www.churchgrowth.org/cgi-cg/gifts.cgi for a free spiritual gifts analysis

Information from the opening page:

This questionnaire will help you identify your God-given spiritual gifts...Every Christian has a dominant gift and many possess more than one. Through this analysis, you will find out in which areas you are "less"gifted and will also discover your dominant task-oriented gift. You can then begin to concentrate on further developing your dominant gift as you exercise it in daily life and in your local church ministry.
