We believe God has supernaturally endowed every believer with spiritual gifts and a unique purpose, and that the Holy Spirit empowers us to live out that purpose through the church.
A spiritual gift is any ability that is empowered by the Holy Spirit and used to build and expand the Kingdom of God. (Ro 12:6-8; 1 Cor 7:7; 1 Cor 12:8-10, 28; Eph 4:11)
God has made available to the church an amazing variety of spiritual gifts, and they are all expressions of his varied grace. (1 Peter 4:10)
Spiritual gifts are given to equip the church to carry out its ministry until Christ returns. (1 Cor 1:7)
New Testament authors seem to assume that believers will know what their spiritual gifts are. (Rom 12:6-8; 1 Pe 4:10)
We are exhorted to seek out our spiritual gifts. (1 Cor 12:31; 1 Cor 14:1)
