Discovering My SHAPE for Ministry
Find Your Place of Service! This is the third of EFCC's four basic seminars that are part of our LifeDesign plan. Since these classes build on each other, we encourage you to attend Class 101: Introduction to Our Church Family and Class 201: Introduction to Spiritual Maturity before taking this class.
Purpose of Class 301
"...we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work,..." - Colossians 1:9-10
When you accept Jesus as Savior, God gives you supernatural abilities called spiritual gifts. The Bible teaches that God desires every believer to use their spiritual gifts in serving others. Through Class 301 you will gain a better understanding of how God has gifted you and identify serving opportunities that fit your S.H.A.P.E.
Goals of Class 301
That you will discover your God-given design (S.H.A.P.E.) for ministry and commit to using those gifts, talents and abilities in serving God and others through this church family.
That you will discover fulfillment in life by serving according to your God-given S.H.A.P.E., which is an acronym for: Spiritual Gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, Experiences.

"Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good." - 1 Corinthians 12:4-7
