Is God Calling You to Pastoral Ministry?

Think About Your Gifts and Skills

What are your gifts?

• Read 1 Corinthians 12, Romans 12, 1 Peter 4:7-10, and Ephesians 4.
  

• The Church needs a variety of gifts. Each person has different gifts.
  

• What do you like most to do? What do you do well?

• Can you express your thoughts and feelings clearly?

• How do you act as a leader? As a member of a group?

• Are you curious about ideas?

• Are you empathetic?

• What are your skills? Make a list. Or, take a skills inventory.

• In what ways are your gifts and skills suited for ordained ministry?
