SHAPE

At First Baptist, we believe that your ministry is determined by your make up or SHAPE!  What God made you to be determines what He intends for you to do. 

What is SHAPE?

S--Spiritual Gifts..."Each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that."  I Corinthians 7:7b

H--Heart/Passion..."God has put it into their hearts to accomplish His purpose..."Revelation 17:17

• Think about your past accomplishments, the things that you enjoy doing or that you did well.  Do you enjoy organizing, serving, designing, improving, leading...is there a common theme in what you have accomplished in your past or currently doing?

A--Abilities..."I (God) have given him skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of crafts..."Exodus 31:3

• These are your skills and talents and the average person has over 600 abilities!  Maybe you have an entertaining or artistic ability or composing or landscaping or repairing or feeding or teaching or writing...the list is endless!

P--Personality...How do you see yourself? 

• There is no good or bad personality as God does not use a cookie cutter when he is creating!  Are you introverted or extroverted?  Do you prefer routine or variety?  For a free Jung Typology Indicator click here and follow the instructions.

• Think about your spiritual experiences, your painful experiences, educational experiences, ministry experiences
