List what you believe to be your spiritual gifts, considering 1 Corinthians 12-14 and/or Romans 12.

List the areas where you have experience and/or skill.

Prepare a testimony of how God saved you (roughly 200–500 words). This will be published and made available to the membership of First Free in preparation for the congregational vote.

Reminders and Guidelines: (1) Testimonies are not primarily about you, but about what Jesus has done for you. (2) Every person who has been saved by Jesus is a miracle. There is no need to embellish. (3) Don’t leave the gospel out of your testimony. When writing, please answer the following questions: (A) Who is Jesus Christ? (B) How did you come to believe the Gospel and profess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? (C) What are you doing to grow as a follower of Jesus? (D) How would you describe your present spiritual condition? (E) What is your pattern for personal intake of the Bible and prayer?

If you are human, leave this field blank.
