Find Your Spiritual Gifts

'As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.' -- 1 Peter 4:10

Here you will find tools to assess your gifts — and match them to Ascension ministries. The ELCA has created and provided a Bible-based Spiritual Gifts Assessment to help discern our most fruitful forms of service. Follow this link to the ELCA’s Spiritual Gifts Self-Assessment Tool. 

You'll be asked to sign in, but if you prefer not to sign in, you may download the test HERE and make a printout of the test that you can take and interpret the results using the provided key. (Note: the printout is 11 pages long and it is much easier to take the test online than to score it yourself.) 

For those who want to skip over the test, read through a list of spiritual gifts and choose the gift or gifts that you believe apply to you, HERE is a brief summary of the 20 spiritual gifts. (Find out more about spiritual gifts. Opening Your Spiritual Gifts is a detailed guide from the ELCA, which includes scripture related to your gifts, strengths, and potential pitfalls.)

Once you know your gift(s) click on the button(s) below (one at a time) to see a personalized list of Ascension ministries where your gift(s) are needed.
