8. Revival Lifestyle
"A revivalist is a believer who is focused and passionate, willing to pay any price to live in community, purity and power. "

We are asking you to "pay the price" of transparency and trust as you answer the following very personal questions. We don't mean to highlight sin, as we know believers are forgiven and are new creations in Christ, but it is helpful for you to seriously consider our expectations in order to know if you will thrive at VSSM.

The Freedom of the VSSM environment demands a high level of self-control and it works best when this sort of self-management is already being demonstrated before you come as we are not a recovery or a discipleship school If you are still trying to figure out your commitment tto Christ or to personal holiness and wholeness, we are not the school for you. If this is the case, God has a different assignment for you at this stage of your life.

READ THE REVIVALIST LIFESTYLE HANDBOOK concerning our expectations to determine if you should continue in your appliation to VSSM.

If you are in agreement with our expectations, then continue to fill out the application. We have found tht honest answers to these questions are mutually helpful in deciding if VSSM is a fit for you at this time; and leads to a more effective application interview. Having had setbacks or struggles in these areas does not automatically disqualify you from being accepted as a student.

Remember: Answering YES to the following questions wil NOT automatically disqualify the applicant from acceptance.
