Leadership Tips & Training Seek Christ First - One Year Commitment

Ask your members to make a one-year commitment to seek Christ first. Those members who desire to make this commitment will fill out a form like the one below. This will help you keep a record of those who have made the commitment and who actually followed through with the commitment. Create a database using the information listed at the bottom of the form. Halfway through the year send out cards encouraging the members to stay the course or get back on track.

I, ________________ commit to giving Christ first place for a year by:

• Participation in a First Place class for all sessions available through the summer of 2005.
• Memorizing the weekly verses and completing the Bible study daily.
• Faithfully following the Live-it plan and getting back on track as quickly as possible when a lapse occurs.
• Turning in a CR to my leader each week.
• Exercising faithfully 3-5 times a week.
