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.

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.

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.
