Gifts find open serving needs

Discipleship now helps a church move from reflection to a real serving next step without treating a score as a permanent label or exposing private member answers to instrument authors.

Shaped by each church

Admins and teachers can customize the introduction, response scale, gift or temperament areas, questions, weights, serving-skill links, and dormant-gift timing. Publishing creates a fixed version, so later edits do not rewrite an earlier member result. Volunteer opportunity editors can now assign the serving skills each open need uses. Member recommendations include only active, available opportunities and name the gift that explains each match.

Private first, shared by choice

Answers and results are encrypted and private to the member. A member may choose an active assigned staff mentor to see one result. Only that mentor can open it and add a shared affirmation, and the member can revoke access later.

From pattern to practice

Members can join an opportunity or request approval directly from the result. If a strong gift has not found a serving rhythm after the church’s chosen period, the app gently resurfaces it for another look or a mentor conversation. Read the Discipleship product guide to connect gift areas, serving skills, and open opportunities.
