Serve
Put love into action
Everyone has gifts to share. Start with what you love and what you’re good at — we’ll help you find where they fit.
We believe God gives every person gifts and talents as part of God’s image in them — so that, as our mission statement puts it, we can awaken disciples to reveal the kingdom, and reveal the kingdom to awaken disciples.
Serving is an outpouring of faith and a joy to share. Before you look at what needs doing, take a couple of minutes with the question underneath it: what are you already good at, and where would you be glad to give your time?
Step one
What are you good at?
Start with the Lead Your Life Inventory: a set of questions about what you enjoy and what comes naturally to you. When you have your results, step two is below.
Step two
Talk it over with somebody
A questionnaire is a starting point, not a verdict. If you would like a companion while you work out where you fit — or if nothing on this page seems quite right — she will sit down with you and help you think it through. That conversation is often the thing that actually settles it.

Nothing is tagged with that gift yet — which is a gap in our list rather than in the church. Ask, and somebody will find you something.
