Ministry Team Fit: A Pass-the-Phone Spiritual Gifts Chart for Church Teams & Volunteers (Romans 12)

FOR MINISTRY TEAMS, VOLUNTEERS & SMALL GROUPS

Ministry Team Fit ๐Ÿงฉ

โ€œHaving gifts differing according to the grace that was given to usโ€ฆโ€ Romans 12:6. Pass one phone around your team. Each person answers 14 quick statements, then see your whole teamโ€™s gifts on one chart: where youโ€™re strong, where you have gaps, and who might shine where.

This is a conversation starter, not a test or a final word on anyoneโ€™s calling. Gifts grow with time and use, and many people serve in more than one way. Names stay only on this device. For a personal deep dive, try Gift Unwrapped.

Scripture from the World English Bible. Gift areas drawn from Romans 12:6โ€“8. More for leaders: Lesson Builder ยท Church & Group Packs ยท Faith Hub

๐Ÿ’ฌ Talk about it together

  1. Did your results surprise you? Do they fit?
  2. Which gift on our team do you most appreciate in someone else?
  3. How could we cover our gap areas?
  4. Is anyone serving in a role that drains them? Could we shift it?
