Ministry Fit Guide

A conversation tool for leaders to help members discover their calling within the 10 service areas of our network. Use these discussion questions and behavioral indicators to guide discernment.

How to Use This Guide

1. Build Relationship

Get to know the member through regular conversations and observation in gathering contexts.

2. Ask Questions

Use the discussion questions to explore their heart, experiences, and sense of calling.

3. Observe Indicators

Look for behavioral patterns that confirm gifting and calling in specific areas.

Remember: This is a discernment tool, not a test. The goal is to help members discover where God has already placed their heart and gifts. Multiple areas may apply — people often serve in 2-3 complementary ministries.
