Discover Your Spiritual Gifts

PastedGraphic-2-1.png

Lots of us have talents and skills—you might be musical, or artistic.  Maybe you’re great at repairing thing or understanding science. 

 

We also have special gifts from God, called Spiritual gifts, that are different from talents or skills.    We’ve subscribed to a special tool to help you unlock your gifts.  Click the button to the left and, once you answer the questions, you’ll see your gifts, along with a description.  Sugar River will also get your results—our goal is to help you serve in ways that excite you and use your unique gifts.
