Spiritual Gifts Inventory by Walt Russell (PDF)
Dr. Walt Russell is a member of Trinity and professor of New Testament at Talbot School of Theology. He is currently writing a book, "Equipping the Saints," about what it looks like to be an equipping church.

The results of the CVC assessment will be emailed to you and to our Director of Equipping, Ross Click. If you would like to take this assessment anonymously, please contact Ross directly at ross@tupcsa.org  or 714-505-6254 ext. 157 and he will set you up with a private link.

The Different Gifts of the Spirit
There are many different theologies about spiritual gifts as interpreted by scripture. Trinity is open to the different ideas and lists of gifts. However, in an effort to bring unity to our own message and teaching on spiritual gifts, our pastoral staff has selected a few resources to draw on: Dr. Walt Russell, Church Volunteer Central (website), Discovering Who You Are (book by LIFEKEYS), Discipleship Essentials (book by Greg Ogden). To see how these different resources define each gift click on the links below:
