Try different ministries and see what those experiences tell
you.
To be truly a ministry, an experience needs to be something
that you do on a weekly or monthly basis for a longer period of time. For
example, if you help with the children’s Sabbath School or if you volunteer in
the community food pantry each week, that would come under the category of a “ministry.”
It is crucial to see how it feels to work with a team over a period of months
and find out what that teaches you about yourself and your abilities.
It is essential that you try different ministries and not
settle for the first one that you happen to become a part of. Until you have a
wide variety of experiences, you cannot really know all that you are capable
of. It is also true that if you experience the range of ministries in your
congregation, then you will have knowledge of other ministries which you may
not find to be a long-term fit with your gift mix. This helps to bring the
various ministries together in a strategy in which they support one another
instead of compete for human and other resources.
