MORE SPIRITUAL GIFT INVENTORY & EQUIPPING RESOURCES
Taking a spiritual gift inventory can help you not only learn about spiritual gifts and how each person is gifted, but also how those gifts can be used to enrich the individual's life as well as the church body's. Assessing Christian Spiritual gifts is a process of discovery and trial. You want to first understand about Spiritual Gifts and their purpose, and then do a spiritual gift inventory to help individuals narrow down the unique spiritual gifts they believe they have and how they should best use them in ministry. At Ministry in Motion we develop our own Christian ministry resources including Spiritual Gifts training courses and spiritual gifts inventory. You'll find our spiritual gifts questionnnaire below.
Q001. Spiritual Gifts Questionnaire We've had so many requests for additional copies of our Spiritual Gifts Questionnarie we've created a stand alone version. The Ministry in Motion Spiritual Gifts Questionnaire is included in all of our spiritual gifts books including Made for a Purpose, and the Discovering My GAPP for Ministry Teacher and Student manuals. To gain the best understanding of spiritual gifts and how they work we suggest you utilize this questionnaire along with our other spiritual gifts resources because the gifts often need a more in-depth explanation than the questionnnaire. Individuals and churches can order downloadable copies of the questionnaire based on the number of copies needed. The questionnaire comes in downloadable pdf format in quantities of 1, 25, 50 or 100. Payment gives you permission to download and/or copy the following quantities. Q001 one copy $3.95
Q002 25 copies $24.95
Q003 50 copies $39.95
Q003 100 copies $49.95

BOOK - IN TOUCH STUDY SERIES, THE MINISTERING THROUGH SPIRITUAL GIFTS
|
|
By Dr. Charles Stanley. Small groups and individuals who want a Bible study that's spiritually sound and practical will find a wealth of ideas to help them understand and apply the Scriptures to the real world. As other books in the series, this book takes a fourfold approach to get the most out of Bible study time - emphasizing personal identification with the Scripture passage, recognition of your emotional response, reflection of the passage's meaning and application, and taking steps to apply what's been learned.
This is not a spiritual gifts inventory questionnaire as much as it is a study, but it is effective nevertheless.

CAN WE DO THAT?: 24 INNOVATIVE PRACTICES THAT WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU DO
|
By
Andy Stanley and Ed Young, Howard Publishing, 2002,ISBN: 1582292388
Andy Stanley and Ed
Young, two senior pastors of mega-churches compare their approaches to
church programming in this co-authored book. The pastors take turns
introducing a topic in each chapter, and responding to each other as
they tell how their church structures a program differently or why a
specific program wouldn't work for his congregation. The book covers
approaches to programs such as outreach, children and student
ministries, leadership, and preaching styles. This comparison shows
there is no one correct method in developing and leading new church
programs. As the introduction states, "There is no such thing as a
a one-size-fits-all ministry." Each leader, while considering what
others have done, must determine what will work best for his group. Full
of innovative approaches to ministry, this book will make your creative
juices flow as you consider new ways to do ministry that will work in
your church environment
