Spiritual Gifts...

In recent years, First Church has been transforming itself into a community that is centered on discipleship empowered by a recognition of each church member's spiritual gifts. Through a discernment process called "Serving From the Heart," incorporated in our membership training classes, as well as offered to existing members, we are moving beyond a model of "recruitment for" leadership to "calling to" leadership. It is exciting to see the levels of involvement increasing with each successive month. Our goal, over the coming years, is to help our members discern their spiritual gifts and renew their commitments to discipleship based on the call they hear from God!

No matter how long we have been a follower of Jesus, we need to be focused on growing in our faith and our commitment to living the Christian life. Our spiritual gifts discernment process is for newcomers and members alike.
