Our goal at First Presbyterian Church is to help every member find one area inside the church and one area outside the church where they can serve with joy and passion.


Serving God can be the greatest joy you will ever experience. Why? Because God created you to serve! God has wired each of us to make our own unique contribution to God's kingdom. There are things in our church and in our community that God planned for only you to do! When you find out what those things are and begin doing those things, you will experience a sense of fulfillment and purpose that will be unlike anything you have ever experienced. You will have the honor and privilege of seeing God at work firsthand -- transforming your life and the lives of others.

Wired 4 Ministry
Wired 4 Ministry is a three-hour class where you will learn your SHAPE for ministry. You will discover how God has "wired" you to serve. You will explore your spiritual gifts and you will see how your gifts help define who you are and how God is equipping you to serve. You will also explore your passions, abilities and personality type as well as your past work, life and volunteer experiences. The result will be a better understanding of how God is calling you to serve and how special you are to God.

Contact Elizabeth Snelbaker for workshop times and dates.

Knowing Your Spiritual Gifts is Important Because:
  • They indicate your areas of service and will guide you in discerning God's will for your life.  By knowing your spiritual gifts, God will lead you in areas of ministry were you can use those gifts.
  • They will help you establish your priorities and help you better align with God's will for your life.
  • They will help you evaluate ministry opportunities when you are asked to serve both inside and outside the church.
  • They will help in self-acceptance. You will see your importance to God and to the body of Christ. They will eliminate feelings of frustration and inferiority. If you operate in the area of your gifts, you will be successful, with the adequacy that Christ supplies.
What are Spiritual Gifts? Spiritual gifts are divine abilities, special energies and tools for ministry. The are distributed by God, through the Holy Spirit to ALL Christians, according to God's grace and design.
