Are you new in your walk with Jesus? Or have you been a Christian a while, but have some nagging questions? This 7-step guide is designed to help you understand faith in Christ. Be sure to contact our pastor with questions or once you complete it.

Spiritual Gifts Inventory

Every believer has a spiritual gift (Romans 12:3-8). This Spiritual Gift Inventory is not infallible, but a good opening step to look at your potential gifts and understanding of how they work. Feel free to contact Pastor Heath after taking this to talk about your results or any questions that come up.
