How To Use This GuideThe purpose of this guide is to outline the service opportunities available at Killearn United Methodist Church. While not comprehensive, this valuable tool provides a snapshot of the many ways people can serve Christ through serving in a ministry. We believe that when you serve according to your spiritual gifts, passion and personal style, you make the biggest impact for the kingdom AND feel joy. Additionally, you are deepening your relationship with Christ. When we all are working together, more people are reached with the love of God. This guide will help you find your place to “Present, Grow and Send.”

You are gifted, needed and called. As said in 1 Corinthians 12, all the spiritual gifts of followers of Christ are important. Gifts are from the same Spirit. That means that your gift is equally as important as the gifts of the pastors, staff, or choir, worship team, etc. They are all needed to build the church and to create other disciples. The body of Christ has many parts and many ministries. But even though there are different parts, we are unified in our purpose: to grow in relationship to God and others, to serve others and to invite others into faith in Christ.

We hope this guide will help you discover a place to serve as you grow in faith. Each section is separated by the ministry area under which it falls. It will list:

• the name of the service position

• a short description of the position

• the spiritual gifts helpful in the position

• the frequency of service and the time commitment

If you have any questions, please contact the Church Office by at 850.893.1116 and ask for the staff person of the ministry in which you are interested.

Spiritual GiftsWhat Are Spiritual Gifts?

Spiritual gifts differ from natural talents and abilities. They are like a God-given inner fire; a passion that ignites, inspires and empowers us to do God’s will. Spiritual gifts aren’t just for super-Christians: every Christian has at least one. The more you discover how to serve through your gift(s), the more joy you will have and the more fruitful your service will be.

What are MY Spiritual Gifts?

We’re glad you asked! Please take the Spiritual Gifts Assessment online at MinistryMatters.com/SpiritualGifts. You will need to create a free account at Ministry Matters.com. Even if you’ve taken the assessment before, please take a few minutes to do so again to make sure you’re clear about your spiritual gift(s) as they can change as we grow.

6 Steps to Matching Your Spiritual Gifts with Areas of Service

1. Pray – Don’t pray about “if ” you should serve, pray about “where!” When you come to God seeking wisdom and ready to obey whatever God reveals, you can be confident God will hear your prayer.

2. Investigate the Options – Read through this opportunities booklet carefully. Feel free to contact the church staff to find out more about a ministry. Even if you have served in the same area for years, become familiar with other areas of service so you can remain open to the Holy Spirit’s leading.

3. Discover Your Gifts – Your spiritual gift is the inner motivation and power given by God to accomplish God’s will for your life. Look over the list on the following pages of this booklet and the descriptions of each opportunity.

4. Consider Your Strengths• In addition to your spiritual gifts, your natural abilities can also influence your

choice of service. • Life experiences can give insight and sympathy to help others going through

similar situations. • Special knowledge such as medical training, technical skills or construction

expertise can open doors for ministry. • Talents such as musical, artistic or athletic ability can and should be used to glorify

God. 5. Invite Your Friends – Serving with others you know can be a great way to enjoy

fellowship. But don’t limit yourself: volunteering on your own can also be a great way to meet new people.

6. Do Something – Even if you aren’t sure what to do, sign up for something. God will bless your willingness and you’ll gain more wisdom in the process.
