All people have been given talents and abilities. When these abilities are used to bring glory to God, they become "Spiritual Gifts". They are received through our baptism and used to build up the Body of Christ and grow God's Kingdom.
To learn more about Spiritual Gifts, the following Bible passages are suggested.
There are many gifts and all of God's gifts are important!
Your gifts build up the Body of Christ!
How do I seek and discover my Spiritual gifts?
ELCA Spiritual Gifts Inventory is a self-assessment of 60 general questions, which will help you identify which gifts you have received in greatest measure. You can take this inventory two ways:
Via website: http://www2.elca.org/evangelizingchurch/assessments/spiritgifts.html
Via hard copy at church
Explore your feelings about each of the gifts that you discover through taking the inventory. As you use your spiritual gifts, pay close attention to the results produced through your efforts and listen for affirmation from other Christians. Use your gifts in all aspects of your life!
"Each one of you has been blessed with on of God's many wonderful gifts to be used in the service of others. So use your gift well." 1 Peter 4:10
