EXCELLENCE: Means performing at the highest level of quality, consistently striving to improve, and seeking to reach the fullest potential in any given area. Excellence involves dedication, discipline, attention to detail, and a commitment to doing one’s best. Excellence isn’t about being perfect but pursuing progress at its highest level possible. From a Christian perspective, excellence goes beyond human effort. It means reflecting God’s nature in all we do.
Excellence:
o A deep desire for us to be our best for God.
o A deep desire for us to be our best for ourselves.
o A deep desire for us to be our best at serving others.
o A deep desire for us to be our best for God.

Ezra 7:9-10 (Voice) On the first day of the first month of Artaxerxes’ seventh year as king, Ezra traveled from Babylon and arrived in Jerusalem on the first of the fifth month. Ezra’s exodus from this foreign empire was successful because he was supported by his True God. 10 He was a second Moses, and tenaciously studied, practiced, and taught the Eternal’s law to Israel.
