Servant Leadership!

The character of Jesus Christ is clearly seen both in how he himself “modeled” leadership before others and the model of leadership he passed on to his twelve disciples.
In Matthew 20:28 (NLT), Jesus says these words, “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
In John 13:15 (NLT), He goes on to say, “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’, because that’s what I am. And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you.
We at Breakers are committed to learning, teaching and modeling SERVANT LEADERSHIP. It is the only model of leadership endorsed by Jesus!
The greatest among you must be a servant. Matthew 23:11(NLT)

Sondra Jenkins

SONDRA JENKINS is a servant and apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, teacher, disciple-maker and agent of church reform. Her personal testimony is one of having grown up in church almost all her life, yet not really having an authentic, saving relationship with God through Christ until adulthood. As such, she is deeply and fearfully aware of the difference between being a church member and having a potent personal relationship with God.

Sondra has been a member of Breakers Covenant Church International since 2017, where she serves as Pastor of Christian Formation and a member of the Board Of Trustees. She is recently retired, though still professionally active. Her career as an organization development and human resources executive has been an extension of her ministry gifts and calling — building leaders and supporting the success of organizations. She and Tony, her husband of 37 years, have no biological children; but they have been a part of the nurturing “village” of nieces, nephews and many other young people over many years.

Chantel Hicks

Chantel Hicks serves as the Youth Pastor & Church Administrator at Breakers Covenant Church International. She has been attending Breakers since 2009, stepping into an authentic relationship with Jesus at the age of 18 which set her ablaze.  Her ultimate joy in life is to see hearts & lives be transformed by the message, love & power of The Gospel of Jesus Christ, as it did her heart & life.

Among many passions in ministry, Youth, Music, Missions, and Administration are at the top of the list.  In her spare time, she loves to read, study and spend quality time with loved ones.
