Where is God Calling You to Serve?

A Sedgefield Presbyterian Church Ministry Match

We all have different gifts, interests, personalities, and amounts of time to give. Some people love being in front of a crowd. Others would rather work behind the scenes. Some have an hour a month; others are looking for a place to really dig in.

There is no “right” way to serve. The church needs all kinds of people—and all kinds of gifts.

Ready to Try Something?

You don’t have to commit to something forever.

Try it. Meet the people involved. See what you think.

You may discover a gift you didn’t know you had—or find that something you thought wasn’t “your thing” becomes one of your favorite parts of church life.

God has given each of us gifts. The question isn’t whether you have something to offer. The question is:

Where might God be calling you to share it?
