HONOR CODE

Please read and review the Leader Honor Code below and check the box that you have agreed.

When you become a leader at The Purpose Church, you’re committing to live your life at a higher standard. Everyone grows! As a leader, it’s especially important that you pursue learning and growth throughout your lifetime and demonstrate mature behavior as a follower of Christ. The Bible is our foundation for what it means to be mature in our thoughts, words, and actions. When you assume responsibility for leading others, and take on the title of leader, you must remember that your behavior and reputation represent The Purpose Church and the body of Christ. For this reason, it’s important that all leaders are aligned with our church beliefs and core values. For clarity, some specific examples are listed below.

Standards: We ask that you:
• Strive to demonstrate Biblical standards in speech and attitude in all situations
• Maintain a daily time of prayer
• Read your Bible and apply His Word to your actions
• Present a clean appearance

Behaviors: We expect that you refrain from:
• Profanity
• Overindulgence of alcoholic beverages
• Dishonest activity
• Illegal drugs
• Pornography
• Sexual immorality
• Illegal activities (behavior that is contrary to governmental laws)
• Any and all behaviors that do not line up with the Word of God

Environments: We uphold our responsibility to honor Christ and Church by:
• Maintaining alcohol-free environments for small group or team gatherings and meetings. This means not meeting in venues that are specifically intended for alcohol consumption (bars) or allowing alcohol to be brought into the environment (such as a tasting or meal with alcohol provided by the host, leader, or guests).
• Maintain tobacco-free environments for small group gatherings and meetings.
• Creating positive social media environments by being mindful and aware of our effects of what we post on social media. As a leader, your posts represent not only yourself, but His church as well. Seek to be a positive voice and reflection of Christ through your social media platforms.

I realize that by accepting this Leadership Commitment, I am not adopting a list of “don'ts” that are restrictive or legalistic. Instead, agreeing to uphold this Leadership Commitment shows that God has freed me to live in ways that reflect the life-change that only He can bring. I am a new creation who gives evidence that God accepts me where I am, but loves us so much He won’t let me stay there!
