Look inside for opportunities
at Second Presbyterian Church
and a listing of our Mission
Memphis partners.
Volunteer Ministries exist to help connect the people of
Second Presbyterian Church to what we consider the core
of our church: worship, small groups and service.
We want to help you as a member
of Second grow spiritually, connect
to the lives of those around you
and begin serving others in the
church and the community.
Every member of the Body of
Christ is a minister, and we are
here to help equip you as you endeavor to use this
ministering gift to enrich your life and the lives of others.
To have godly, spirit-filled individuals fulfilling their
respective, but different roles will grow the church and
make an impact on the surrounding world.
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to
serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in
its various forms.
1 Peter 4:10
The purpose of Volunteer Ministries at Second Presbyterian is to promote service to God and His people by
helping you discover, develop and use your gifts.

Serving Him
through Second Presbyterian Church
S
ervice ministries are a vital part of our Church’s ability to function effectively and
to cover all that needs to be done. However, these ministries are also essential for
spiritual growth, and if we as members are going to derive the growth that we need
in order to live happier, more fulfilling lives, we need to be performing meaningful
service on a scale that makes a difference in others’ lives.
A commitment to service also helps us to integrate and develop friends in the church,
which results in a more satisfying church experience and, thus, a commitment to stay
and grow with the church.
We have provided in this booklet a listing of service opportunities within our church
and the contact information of our community ministry partners for you to connect
with for serving. Please read over these, and if you have any questions or want
to get involved, you may call Kim Blankenship at 454-0034, ext 165 or email at
[email protected].

SHAPE
assessment
“God never wastes anything. He would not give you abilities, interest,
talents, gifts, personality and life experiences unless He intended to use
them for His glory. By identifying and understanding these factors you
can discover God’s will for your life.”
Rick Warren, Author A Purpose Driven Life
To help us see and remember the complex factors that God has given
us, Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church, developed the acrostic, SHAPE, which we have adopted here at Second Presbyterian
Church to aid our discovery of how God has molded us for service.
Whenever God gives us an assignment, He always equips us with
what we need to accomplish it. This custom combination of capabilities is called your SHAPE.
Use the tools given on the next few pages to help discover how
you are SHAPEd by God for service. Our Director of Volunteer
Ministries is ready to help you understand how to use this
information after completion. Just email Kim Blankenship at
[email protected] to set up an appointment.
You can also complete the assessment online at www.2pc.org/shape.

Personal Style Assessment
It is obvious that God does not use a cookie cutter to create people. He makes us all unique and that
includes our own personal style. God loves variety and He made introverts and extroverts – He made
people who love routine and those who love variety – He made some “thinkers” and some “feelers” and
some “doers.” How did he make you?

Volunteer Ministries exist to help connect the people of
Second Presbyterian Church to what we consider the core
of our church: worship, small groups and service.
We want to help you as a member
of Second grow spiritually, connect
to the lives of those around you
and begin serving others in the
church and the community.
Every member of the Body of
Christ is a minister, and we are
here to help equip you as you endeavor to use this
ministering gift to enrich your life and the lives of others.
To have godly, spirit-filled individuals fulfilling their
respective, but different roles will grow the church and
make an impact on the surrounding world.
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to
serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in
its various forms.
1 Peter 4:10
