The Spiritual Gifts Assessment identifies the spiritual gifts an individual possesses. While this is not a comprehensive list of spiritual gifts, it does include those that are most commonly seen in action for most people. Empowering the members of your organization to make an impact starts with identifying their spiritual gifts. From there, they are positioned to learn what these gifts are and how they fit into the functioning of your mission. This assessment will identify clusters of dominant, supportive and other gifts for each person. This is searchable through Data Views. If, for instance, you want to search for people to host new small groups in their homes, you could create a person Data View and select the attribute ‘Dominant Gifts’ that includes ‘Hospitality’.
