Piperton United Methodist Church

Our purpose is to know, love and serve Christ.

If you've been a Christian for a while, you may be wondering about your next step. "What now?" After baptism, there's a general flow of information about Scripture, traditions, and history.

There's a perfectly valid question that sometimes comes: "What about me? How do I fit in? What do I do next to best serve my God?"

One answer to that question is to find out how God has equipped you. Spiritual Gifts can be difficult to understand. For that reason, I recommend the insights of Dr. Dan Dick's book, Equipped for Every Good Work. Without reading the book, the following materials may not make as much sense as one would like. However, I think that careful look at the questions and your answers will enable you to gain a handle on what your gift or gifts may be.

Instructions

Read through the questions. Mark your answers as recommended. Don't spend a lot of time pondering; just answer the questions and move ahead. When you have finished your inventory, bring the answers to the church, and we'll interpret those together. Please know that there's no requirement for you to answer all the questions if you don't wish to do so. A simple conversation may be the best place to start.
