As a student and future alumnus of the OptiHealth Institute, you are entrusted to serve only in the best interest of your clients and colleagues. Collectively, we must keep: "Our Promise To Integrate Health Education And Lifestyle Therapies Honestly"
Q: Into what do we integrate our health education and lifestyle therapies?
A: Into the gospel of Jesus Christ - the good news that Jesus makes us healthy by empowering us to follow God's natural laws of health.
As disciples of Jesus Christ, we believe the Bible is the holy word of God, and we strive to follow its clear teachings on how to achieve and maintain optimal health (John 10:10) and share God's goodness with others (Luke 10:37).
We believe the purpose of our lives is to live (physical), learn (mental), and love (spiritual) through faith in Jesus Christ, filled with the power of His Holy Spirit, and doing all for the glory of God our Creator.
We believe Christianity is more than a belief system; it's a relationship and a lifestyle in accordance with our Christian beliefs -- a practical religion -- that partakes of the divine nature and demonstrates by faith that real health and true happiness results only from a consecrated life in Christ.
As our personal relationships with Christ have allowed us to experience the wonderful truth in healing and wellness, we commit to a healthful Christian lifestyle and offer ourselves in self-sacrificing service to Him for our sanctification and for the saving of souls (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
The three statements and related Bible verses linked below describe the process of our individual and complete consecration to Christ, and how each of us are to live, learn, and love when serving God and bringing glory to Him by serving others.
