Student Ministry Covenant

By choosing to enter into a leadership role you are entering into a position of authority. Our children and teens will watch you closely and take what you say seriously. As a role model your lifestyle is a part of the equation. In the past, that was all that needed to be said. There was consensus around what constituted consistency between “church behavior” and life in general. As culture has changed, however, there is a need to be more specific. The three issues that surface the most have to do with sexual relationships, substance abuse,and social media.

The last thing we want to do is put you in a position where you feel pressure to teach, represent, or appear to give assent to a view on one of these subjects you do not personally embrace. So on these three subjects, here is what we expect volunteers, interns, and church staff to model:

Regarding Sexual Behavior

We teach that sex was created by God as an expression of intimacy between a man and a woman within the context of marriage. If you embrace a lifestyle or behavior that conflicts with this teaching you will eventually find yourself pretending to be something you are not or believing something you don’t. In an effort to protect you from a potentially awkward situation, we ask the following:

If you are involved in a sexual relationship and are not married, we ask that you not volunteer at this time.
If you are pursuing a same sex relationship, we ask that you not volunteer at this time.
In the spirit of being a good role model, if you are single and living with a member of the opposite sex, we ask that you not volunteer at this time.
If you are married and are currently involved in a sexual relationship outside of your marriage, we ask that you not volunteer at this time.

Regarding Substance Abuse

If you have a history of alcohol or drug abuse, this might be something God uses in a positive way to steer a future generation in a different direction. If you feel that this is part of your message, and perhaps part of your motivation for wanting to get involved in youth ministry, we would love to talk with you further. While we might disagree on the timing of your involvement, we don’t want to miss an opportunity to partner with what God is up to in your life.

If you have been arrested for or convicted of an alcohol or drug-related offense in the past twelve months, we ask that you not volunteer at this time.
If you are currently being treated for alcohol or drug abuse, we ask that you not volunteer at this time.
If you have used marijuana or any other illegal substance during the past twelve months, we ask that you not volunteer at this time.

Regarding Social Media

Students in your small group will visit your social media page/accounts. So will parents. If you blog or maintain a Twitter/Instagram/Facebook account, some in your group will opt to keep up with you through those mediums as well. While social media can be a great connection tool, it also serves as a window into your life beyond youth group and church settings. In light of that, we ask that you leverage social media with your group members in mind. We realize this is a judgment call, but highly encourage you to exercise diligent awareness to your testimony.
