Would this be good to put on application as EC or not?

<p>I belong to a religious denomination where evangelical work is one of the primary focuses.</p>

<p>Since the summer before college, I became what is called a full-time servant. This means that I am a participant in this work for at least 840 hours annually (which equates to 70 hours per month).</p>

<p>This has taken a great deal of effort and time management to be able to accomplish. I furthermore give what others would called “lectures” or “sermons”; the latter which is about 45 minutes long. This takes a great deal of preparation.</p>

<p>Having done a bit of calculation, I spend as a minimum 100 hours a month in my work as a member of my denomination.</p>

<p>I thought this would be good as I actually live my life around my servitude to God, and have still maintained a stellar academic record and LSAT score.</p>

<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>It will be beneficial, it will be more beneficial if you use it in your personal statement to explain what this meant for you and your academic (and/or personal/social) development. In particular, Columbia is favorable to the religious diversity you might be able to bring to their campus. It shows commitment to something and that is good. If your evangelical work has changed you in some way let them know. Obviously, avoid making it a hymn but if you show how it has changed you for the better then they will like that. Others may be able to give you more specific details.</p>

<p>If you can keep the attention of your congregation for 45 minutes, then you’ve got great potential in front of a jury!</p>
