Spiritual Gifts Inventory
This SPIRITUAL GIFTS SURVEY is a discovery tool that provides you with a personalized analysis. It is not a test, but a simple survey giving you a profile of yourGod-given spiritual gifts.
Spiritual gifts exist within every Christian. They are the ways by which Christ works within the life of believers to edify and strengthen the Church. Spiritual gifts are gifts to be shared. They are not gifts to be hidden or tucked away in a closet, or enclosed within a box. They are given by the Spirit to be used by the Spirit.
This survey will help you identify your God-given spiritual gifts. While there are many spiritual gifts, this evaluation covers the top 25 spiritual gifts used in daily life to do the work of Christian ministry.
Every Christian has a dominant gift and many possess more than one. Through this analysis, you will find which areas you are "less" gifted and will also discover your dominant gift. You can then begin to concentrate on further developing your dominant gift as you exercise it in daily life and in your church ministry.
The statements in the survey deal with your feelings and desires, so be sure to let your responses reflect your own opinions of yourself. As you read each statement, place on the Answer Sheet the number that you feel most fits your response: 5 (if the statement fits you much of the time), 3 (if the statement fits you some time), 1 (if the statement fits you little) and 0 (if the statement fits you never). Remember, this is a self-evaluation; there are no "right" or "wrong" answers.
When you have completed the Answer Sheet you will be able to view your scores for each of the 25 gifts and discover your primary and secondary gifts!
This will help you determine God's will for your vocation, help mobilize the entire church for ministry, assist you in setting priorities for study, growth and ministry and enable you to receive the gift ministries of others.

At the Church Conference after the morning worship service on Sunday, December 18, 2011, Camphor's Strategic Planning Committee, led by Rev. David Brown, introduced the Bishops "Call to Action", a comprehensive initiative to create vitality in local churches and reshape The United Methodist Church (UMC).
The Call has been initiated by the Bishops of the UMC based on a report of the denomination's operations and common factors found in vital congregations. When implemented, the Call to Action is expected to remedy the "creeping crisis of relevancy" facing the church today, as stated by Bishop John Schol. As part of the Call to Action, all United Methodist churches around the world, no matter their size, location or history are being invited to develop a Ministry Plan that will help them grow in vitality and experience growth in five essential areas, which include increases in worship attendance, professions of faith, participating in small groups, mission engagement and giving.
To assist members in setting plans and numerical goals for the church for 2012 to 2015, a PowerPoint presentation with background information and data for Camphor for 2006 to 2010 in the five areas, as well as the results of the August 2011 worship survey, were provided and discussd. In case you missed the Church Conference, click on the video below to see the PowerPoint presentation and here for the worship survey results. Members of the Strategic Planning Committee, by virtue of their leadership positions, are Rev. Brown, Sharon Brown, Carol Black, Phyllis Daniels, Ronald Deas, Ruth Harmon, Lisa Rhodes, Wendell Waties and the pastor of the church.
