Spiritual Gifts will be offered virtually on June 5th and June 12th from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm on ZOOM. The Rev Benny Oakes, Pastor of First UMC in Elizabeth City, NC and Suzanne Nelson, Beacon District LSM Co-Director, will facilitate this course.
The course focuses on gaining a better understanding of the church and its ministry needs by learning what it means to be a minister. It also describes practical ways of using gifts in ministries in our congregations and communities.
Participants will:
- Discover the nature of spiritual gifts through bible study and reflection
- Relate spiritual gifts to the overall life of the church and to the means of grace
- Discover one’s own spiritual gifts and examine their definitions
- Develop a plan to implement the use of spiritual gifts as an element of leader development and deployment in the local church
