We offer spiritual gifts inventory discovery resources for both personal study and group study to help individuals complete their own spiritual gifts assessment while learning about their abilities and skills, and where they are best designed to serve. These resources help individuals understand spiritual gifts, their talents, skills, experiences and personality and how they can be used to serve God and church.

PHASE I - Spiritual Gifts and Ministry Discovery. Begin by teaching your church members that they, not the pastors, are ministers and by helping them understand what spiritual gifts are, how they are gifted and where they should be serving. We recommend the following resources:

    * M001 Made for Purpose, Discover Your G.A.P.P. for Individual Study, Small Group Leaders, Sunday School Teachers

    * M006 Discovering My Ministry, Filling the G.A.P.P Seminar Teacher Manual. A one-day format for teaching members about their spiritual gifts and design

    * M007 Discovering My Ministry, Filling the G.A.P.P Student Manual. The manual that students need for the one-day seminar course.

PHASE II - Equipping for Ministry. Finish the equipping process by getting members involved in ministry, finding qualified volunteers to help run your program, promoting ministry, tracking ministry and by recognizing and appreciating volunteers.

Q001 SPIRITUAL GIFTS QUESTIONNAIRE

Teena Stewart developed this unique Spiritual Gifts Questionnaire as a tool to help people discover their spiritual gifts. This is the same spiritual gifts questionnaire that is included in all of our spiritual gifts books including Made for a Purpose, and the Discovering My GAPP for Ministry Teacher and Student manuals.

To gain the best understanding of spiritual gifts and how they work we suggest you utilize this questionnaire along with our other spiritual gifts resources because the gifts often need a more in-depth explanation than the questionnaire provides.

Individuals and churches can order downloadable copies of the questionnaire based on the number of copies needed.

The questionnaire comes in downloadable pdf format in quantities of 1, 25, 50 or 100

Each questionnaire includes:

Easy fill-in-the-blank format

A scoring sheet to determine your most prominent gifts

Suggestions for how to understand your score

It depends on which quantity your customer orders as to how much you earn. Questionnaires sell for between $4.00 and $50.00
