We also upload the sermon handouts so that our internet listeners can follow along. We maintain an active Facebook, Twitter feed, and emails for additional church communication.

CHILDREN

In order to give our children the best Bible teaching possible, Grace Life holds a children’s church service during the main service. This special time gives kids more opportunity for interaction and learning in a context and manner that may be better suited to their age and learning styles. Our friendly children’s church volunteers have a range of creative tools–ranging from puppet shows, to games, to object lessons all used to teach our little ones.

SPIRITUAL GIFTS ASSESSMENT

At Grace Life Center, we believe that everyone has gift – a gift which enables us to be useful in a ministry for the edification of the saints. The Spiritual Gifts Inventory is a discovery tool that provides you with a personalized analysis. It is not a test, but a simple questionnaire giving you a profile of your God given spiritual gifts. Discovering and exercising your God-given spiritual gifts allows you to experience maximum fulfillment with minimum frustration in your Christian life and ministry. For that reason, we are pleased to introduce you Spiritual Gifts Inventory! Based on the team- or task-oriented gifts, this questionnaire and analysis will help you identify your God-given spiritual gifts. While there are many spiritual gifts, this evaluation covers the nine task-oriented gifts used in daily life to do the work of Christian ministry. Every Christian has a dominant gift and many possess more than one. Through this analysis, you will find out in which areas you are “less” gifted and will also discover your dominant task-oriented gift. You can then begin to concentrate on further developing your dominant gift as you exercise it in daily life and in your local church ministry.
