Spiritual Gifts

What are Spiritual Gifts?
Each person is gifted by God at their baptism with a gift or a mix of gifts to be used to further the mission of the church. God chooses us to be a part of His saving plan and our calling is to fulfill that responsibility. Spiritual gifts are the powers that move a congregation to fulfill its mission. Discovering your gifts will add meaning and depth to your personal walk of faith.
