What you are trying to produce in your members must be PARAMOUNT in your life.

A CONSECRATED leader has made a CHOICE to follow Jesus Christ.

It is through OBEDIENCE to GOD evidenced by the CHOICES we make!

Godly LEADERS make godly CHOICES.

Our goal is to impact LOSTNESS in our community and make DISCIPLES.

We have PROGRAMS, formulas and developed STRATEGIES but nothing works like having CONSECRATED leaders.

As leaders CONSECRATE themselves to God and YIELD to His will, SERVANTHOOD becomes more evident.

It is all about our ATTITUDE!

Put OTHERS ahead of their own agenda.

Possess the CONFIDENCE to SERVE.

Initiate SERVICE to others.

Are not POSITION-CONSCIOUS.

How do I CONSECRATE myself to God?

Consecration is not a CEREMONY; it is making GODLY CHOICES!

Paul had CONSECRATED himself to a life of OBEDIENCE to God.

When you exercise SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES daily and let others see a CONSECRATED life, it will be CAUGHT by those you lead.

“Holiness does not consist of mystic speculations, enthusiastic fervors,

or uncommanded austerities;It consists in

as God And as God .”
