Adult leader covenant

As an Adult Leader in the Well Student Ministry of Living Water Community Church I understand that leadership is a privilege and that with privilege comes responsibility.

Therefore, I am willing, by the grace of God, to commit myself to and believe in the following areas of Mission, Vision, Action, and Attitude for the 2023-2024 school year (August-June).

 

Mission: “The Well” Student Ministries exists to assist diverse students in developing a personal relationship with Christ so they are prepared and equipped to impact the world in which they live.

 

Vision: To build a community of Adult and Student Leaders to connect students to Christ and together grow to full devotion to Him.

 

Actions and Attitudes:   Because I believe that my Christian faith is expressed in my lifestyle and that actions speak louder than words, I promise to the best of my ability live up to the standard here below:      

 

• I will faithfully attend the weekly program(s) that I commit to on Saturdays, Sundays and/or Wednesdays or, if applicable, as specified/needed for my Administrative/Event Area. 

 

• I will do my best to arrive at least 30 minutes early so that I can welcome and connect with students.

 

• Because I believe that relationships take time, I will be at special events sponsored by “The Well” Student Ministry whenever my schedule allows.

 

• Believing that students need to know that there are adults who care about them, I will follow up on students that I come in contact with and try to spend time with students outside of our regularly scheduled times and events (ie. write a note, make a phone call, plan an outing with a class, have a soda with a student).  

 

• In addition to my service time and arriving 30 minutes prior to that, I will also attend the 30 minute monthly Leader Meetings that occur before/after my service time and when I am unable to attend I will make arrangements to get a list of the topics that were covered so that I am aware of what is going on in the ministry.

 

• I will use my gifts and abilities to glorify God in the ministry He has called me to while expecting to be equipped with the necessary tools to be successful.

 

• Recognizing that teachers of God’s Word have a high responsibility to be truthful and accurate, I will adequately prepare or review both the material to be taught as well as my own heart before I teach at a service.

 

• I will make the work of this team, “The Well”, and this church a priority in my life. I will be committed and I realize that might mean saying “no” to other activities I’d rather do in the moment.

 

• Because I believe that students will look to me to model appropriate behavior, I agree to model responsible social media guidelines. I will not use vulgar or hate filled speech and I will carefully guard my profiles from inappropriate images or videos. 

 

I recognize that in order to serve in “The Well” I must be a Member or Regular Attender of Living Water Community Church in good standing.  I understand that my opportunity to serve is conditional on my good standing with the church body and leadership.
