This course is designed to help believers
discover, grow, and engage their spiritual gifts. As we embark on this
journey to understand more about how God has uniquely structured each of us
for ministry, we hope that you will find a place of service here at Turner
Chapel AME Church that perfectly aligns with the way God has crafted you.
Your SHAPE — which stands for Spiritual Gifts,
Heart, Abilities, Personality, and Experience — determines your ministry. Our
prayer is that as you progress through this course, you will gain a deeper
understanding of how you are uniquely fashioned for ministry.
Understanding SHAPE:
· Spiritual Gifts: These are the special
abilities given by the Holy Spirit to every believer for the purpose of
building up the body of Christ.
· Heart: Your passions and interests
reveal the area of ministry where you can make the greatest impact.
· Abilities: These are the talents and
skills you have developed over time.
· Personality: Your unique personality
traits affect how and where you best serve.
· Experience: Your background and life
experiences shape your perspective and prepare you for specific kinds of
ministry.
Key Principles of SHAPE:
1. Every Believer is Gifted: Ministry is not reserved
for a select few with seminary degrees. Every member of the body of Christ
has received at least one spiritual gift.
2. Discover and Confirm: This course is an exciting
journey of revelation and confirmation of how God wants to use you for
ministry.
3. Engage and Serve: Our goal is for you to find a
fulfilling place to exercise your gifts in the community and at Turner
Chapel AME Church. If you find no immediate fit, create opportunities for
service where your gifts can flourish!
