Before You Begin
Start with Your Assessment
Before attending Next Steps, we ask everyone to complete two short online assessments — a personality profile and a spiritual gifts survey. These help you (and us) understand how God has uniquely designed you. It takes about 15-20 minutes and you'll receive a personal report.
