There is also a link called “Find Your Place In Ministry” which connects to a comprehensive assessment from PLACE Ministries, which consists of a leadership attributes assessment, a personality assessment, a spiritual gifts assessment, an abilities assessment, a passions assessment, and a life experience assessment.
