Spiritual Gifts Test

It's great that you're interested in your spiritual gifts! These gifts are special abilities from God, described in 2 Timothy 1:1-7 and other biblical passages, and are meant to build up Christ’s Church. It's important to know the difference between spiritual gifts, things you're naturally good at, and things you've learned. Discovering your spiritual gifts means trying out different ways to help others and seeing what feels right to you.

Where do I start?

Ultimately, the best way to find out your spiritual gifts is to start serving. As you serve more, you'll notice what you're good at and what makes you feel close to God. It's not just about thinking about your gifts, but actually using them to help people. And talking to your community group, friends, and other believers around you can also help you understand what gifts God has given you.
