Class 301: Introduction to Your SHAPE
Pastors.com
God didn't design ministry for just the few with seminary degrees. At Saddleback every member of the church is a minister. This is what CLASS 301 is all about. Through the SHAPE process, you'll learn how God can use your Spiritual Gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality and Experience to minister to others in need.
First , God gave you a special ability when you started following Him. We call this a spiritual gift. God gives us this gift to build up our church family and reach out to the world with Christ's love.
Second , God gives each of us a unique passion for particular activities, subjects and circumstances. God uses those things we feel deeply about to show us where we can serve without quickly burning out.
Third , you have abilities, given to you before you accepted Christ, that God can use. Those abilities will help you in a ministry.
Fourth , God can use your personality. God can use all of us, whether we're extroverts or introverts; we enjoy routine or variety.
Finally , God has placed a multitude of experiences in your life to help mold you for ministry. God can use many of our experiences in our background to help heal hurts in our church and in our community.
