About You

"...the authorities that exist are appointed by God... For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil."

- The Apostle Paul

The Public Safety profession is made up, for the most part, of hard-working, dedicated and loyal employees. At Centurion's Faith, we understand that there is a lot of stress associated with this line of work. At times, the Centurion will need to find a safe place to refresh and find new and added strength. We want to be that place for you and your family. We all need each other.

God has called you to a chosen profession. While it should be a privilege for us to serve, we also know that it is a very demanding and crucial role to fulfill. Many of our brothers and sisters have paid the ultimate price, that of giving their lives to serve and protect our fellow man. While it is a very rewarding career, our jobs can also be a detriment to our physical, social and spiritual well-being as well as that of our family's.

Looking through academy calendars, it is easy to see that there are a lot of courses which sharpens ones tactical skills and physical agility. What appears to be missing in our academy classes is instruction in emotional survival. What can you do to attain a warrior mindset? What measures do you need to take to guard your heart and your mind?

Is there a champion in the house? Will you stand in the gap and make up the hedge? Will you be a man or a woman of integrity? Like the centurion at the cross, will you choose to believe?

Life cannot be prioritized, it must be integrated. We want to help you find and maintain a healthy balance in your job as well as in your personal and spiritual life. You are a minister of God. Step up and take your rightful place. Be all that God wants you to be.
