“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
-Ephesians 2:10

Know Your SHAPE
Christ has created His body to work together as a team, where different people have different gifts and use those gifts to encourage each other. Scripture promises us that He has given all believers something they can use to build up the Body. So, where do you fit?

It can be overwhelming trying to figure out where the Lord would have you serve in His body, especially when you start looking at all the different opportunities at Providence Church. Knowing your SHAPE can focus you in the right direction and point you to the ministry where you can be most effective in the Kingdom.

Spiritual Gifts
Scripture outlines different, specific gifts that God gives believers when they start following Him. The spiritual gifts page lists and explains these different gifts to give you an idea of what your gifting may be.

Heart
God created each person with unique passions for different activities, subjects, and circumstances. These God-given emotions help direct you to the area where God wants you to serve Him.

Abilities
Every member of the church has certain abilities, things they do well, that God can use for His glory in His kingdom.

Personality
God created each person uniquely. Your personality will affect how and where you use your spiritual gifts and abilities. When you minister in a manner that is consistent with the personality God gave you, you experience fulfillment, satisfaction, and fruitfulness. It feels good when you do exactly what God made you to do.

Experiences
The specific circumstances of your life have given you a unique perspective and ability to serve effectively in a particular area.  Use your past experiences to encourage and equip others.
