Personality & Spiritual Gifts Discovery

Step 1: Before We Begin

Welcome to Your Discovery Journey

We are so glad you are taking this step to discover how God has uniquely equipped you! Please share a little about yourself below. We will use this to create your personalized Ministry Dashboard—a practical tool to help you find your place serving His kingdom.

Step 2: Exploring Your Personality

How God Knitted You Together

Your personality is who God created you to be. To get an honest, beautiful picture of how He wired you, read across each row and select the words that best describe you. You can check as many boxes per row as you need.

We all have God-given strengths and areas where we need His refining grace, so please prayerfully complete both the Strengths and Weaknesses tables below.
