Spiritual Gifts Class

7:30 AM07:30

Spiritual Gifts Class

Are you a hand?  Are you a foot?  Are you an ear?  Spiritual gifts are separate from natural skills and abilities.  The purpose of learning your spiritual gifts is not to just find a place to serve in ministry at church, it’s about discovering what drives you; discovering what you’re passionate about. It’s about learning who God created you to be.

Register here for this class today. Deadline for registration is February 21, 2025.
