Series: "Discover Your SHAPE for Serving God"

 

Your life is an opportunity to serve others - and when you serve others, you are actually serving God! Your service is your ministry. Every member of the family of Christ is a minister, not just the pastor. If you're a Christian, you are a minister! Since you are a minister, God has equipped you to accomplish your ministry. The customized way God put you together is called your SHAPE. Discover your SHAPE and you discover how God has uniquely equipped and called you to serve.
