Learn what Scripture teaches about spiritual gifts
Explore how your gifts align with your passions and purpose
Discover how you can serve more effectively in your church and community
Whether you’re new to faith or have been walking with Christ for years, this class is a valuable step toward deeper understanding and connection.
