Orange Center Ministers

I have seen in you a servant’s heart and I know you will labor as a faithful servant. This church has seen your desire to help others; you have a good testimony.

Your actions, as a minister, reflect upon Christ and His Body more so than others. You represent this church, so when you live a God-honoring life in this community, this church and her Savior will be looked upon favorably. If you fail, you will bring dishonor upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and this entire church. I’ll be honest with you, sometimes people look at ministers, more than they look at themselves. Minsters’ mistakes are magnified and sometimes their good qualities go unrecognized.

The office of a minister carries very great responsibilities, but the privileges and rewards far outweigh the burdens. Paul tells Timothy, "For they that have used the office of a minister well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
