In response to many people's request, we're making available the following resources and material we used as part of the Discovering My Ministry Class. We encourage to print out and use the material as you see fit:
During Discovering My Ministry, you will learn how God can use your spiritual gifts, your passions, your abilities, your personality, and your experiences to minister to the needs of others in the church. When you chose to follow Christ, you were given special abilities, known as Spiritual Gifts. Learn how to assess your abilities, gifts, and passions to see where in the ministry you will love to serve. This class is hands on, giving you many tools to use in your journey.
When you became a Christian, God gave you salvation and the hope of eternity in heaven. He also gave you purpose and significance in your life now. He has given each of us the opportunity to serve others and make a real difference in someone's life. When you serve others in Jesus' name, that's called ministry.
God didn't design ministry for just a few with seminary degrees. At Cornerstone Baptist Church, we believe that every member of our church is a minister. This is what Discovering My Ministry is all about. During this class, you will learn how God can use your Spiritual Gifts, your Passions, your Abilities, Personality and Experiences to minister to others in need. This is discovering how God shaped you for ministry.
First, God gave you a special ability when you started following Him.
We call this a Spiritual gift. God gave this gift to build up your church family and reach out to the world with Christ's love.
God also gave you unique passions and heart for particular activities, subjects and circumstances. God uses the things we feel deeply about to show us where we can serve. This is how people learn to serve with joy and not get burned out.
Third, in this hands-on, interactive class, you'll be given time to assess your Abilities which have been with you even before you became a Christian and you'll see how these will help you in your ministry.
God also gives us a Personality to share our ministry through.
Everyone's personality is not the same, which makes the expression of our ministry that much more special.
Finally, you'll be able to reflect on the multitude of experiences in your life which have been used by God to mold you for ministry. The experiences of life help us know how to heal hurts of people in our church and in our community. All this combined, will let you discover your place for ministry.
