Spiritual Gifts & Ministry Guide

St. Anne's Spiritual Gifts and Ministry Guide

Spiritual Gifts characterize the specific call of God to each believer. 

Also called charisms, and partially listed in 1 Cor 12:4-11, these are graces granted by the Holy Spirit to empower the faithful to perform specific tasks. Called gratiae gratis datae (freely given graces) by the scholastics, they are at the service of charity (1 Cor 13:13). Given over and above the fundamental gift of faith and friendship with God (or, gratia sanctificans, sanctifying grace) they are neither necessary nor sufficient to salvation, but they characterize the specific call of God to each believer.  As defined by the episcopalchurch.org glossary.

Please open the Digital Spiritual Gifts Questionnaire to learn more about your unique gifts. after you submit your questionnaire, you will receive acknowledgment that it was submitted and a scored tally of your responses will be sent to you within 24 hours, but quite often much sooner.  Then, you will list out your top scoring gifts, explore descriptions of those gifts and the ministries that are associated with the each gift. You may be contacted by the office or ministry leader to further explore the gifts and ministries. Pretty exciting stuff there!

The St. Anne’s Ministry Guide is a comprehensive view of the many ministries and service opportunities we have at St. Anne’s.  There may be other opportunities not listed, but the intent is to give the viewer a sense of what we do here at St. Anne’s and hopefully provide an awareness that there is a need for all of us to share our talents and time. Please check with vestry members if you have questions.
