When a small group serves together, in not only multiplies the impact on those who receive the service, it also impacts those who serve together. If you serve with your small group you will get to know each other on a whole new level. If you need some ideas on how to serve as a small group, please send an email.

We believe that God has uniquely created and gifted each believer for serving the Body of Christ. This combination of capabilities is called your SHAPE:
Spiritual Gifts
Heart
Abilities
Personality
Experience
How Do You Discover Your SHAPE?
The Bible says "Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do." Ephesians 5.17 (NLT)
Take a look at what you are good at. Pray. Make a list. Ask others for their opinion. Jump in and serve in areas that have needs. One of the best ways to discover your gifts and abilities is to experiment with different areas of service.
Spiritual gift tests and ability inventories have some value and can be fun, by they are standardized and don't take into account your uniqueness. Feel free to take a spiritual gift assessment but make sure you print it out and discuss it with a friend or spouse.
