Finding the right role to serve in at church is important. What do we need to think about as we consider what role is right for us?

The SHAPE acronym can help when considering roles in the church: Spiritual gifts; Heart; Abilities; Personality; Experiences.

Finding a role that plays to your strengths in these areas will enable you to be most effective in your ministry.
