Serve Team Commitment

Please read carefully and initial as acknowledgement on each.

  1. Commitment for all GPC Serve Team Members *


    A Serve Team Member:

    - Daily cultivates an intimate relationship with God through prayer, Bible study, and a lifestyle of worship.

    - Faithfully attends Sunday services.

    - Supports all ministries of the church in word, attitude, and in regular prayer.

    - Creates positive group dynamics and resolves conflict within the group.

  1. Leadership Covenant Honor Code *


    - As an essential part of the Grace Pointe Church Leadership family, you have a responsibility to develop and exhibit mature Christian behavior. This should be the basic premise of your desire to participate in a servant-leader position here at Grace Pointe.

    - While serving the Body of Christ as a servant-leader at Grace Pointe, you should strive to demonstrate Biblical standards in all situations.

    - As Christians, the way we present ourselves to others is of vital importance to the way others perceive Christ. Our conduct should never be contrary to the Gospel, but should exemplify the best qualities of a mature believer and servant-leader.

    - Exemplifying this commitment, Grace Pointe leaders are to maintain a disciplined life of Bible reading, prayer, and fasting.

You must also refrain from such things as:

• Profanity

• Smoking or chewing tobacco

• Gambling

• Indulging in wine or other alcoholic beverages

• Dishonest gain

• Social Media/Internet impropriety

• Illegal drugs

• Pornography

• Sexual immorality

• All behaviors which might cause the Holy Spirit to grieve and others to stumble


By providing an example in speech and action, we encourage others to grow in Christ and become servant-leaders themselves. This is a way of life measured by the heart and commitment of each leader in the Gace Pointe Church family. We should regard it as an essential part of our development, not as an imposition or restriction.

  1. Abuse Policy Acknowledgement *


I understand that Grace Pointe Church is a safe place for children, and vulnerable adults, and that Grace Pointe Church complies with all Federal and State laws regarding reporting suspected child abuse. As a member of the Serve Team, I understand that suspected abuse is to be reported to the staff member who oversees the area in which I serve. I also understand the four types of abuse defined below:


• Physical: a physical act directed at a child, or vulnerable adult, that causes injury.

• Sexual: contact or interactions between a child and an adult, or another child, when the child is being used for sexual stimulation of the perpetrator or another person. This includes exploitation through photographs, videos or other communication methods.

• Emotional: acts or omissions by the parent, or other caregivers, that have caused, or could cause, serious behavioral, cognitive, emotional or mental disorders.

• Neglect: failure to provide for the child, or vulnerable adult’s, basic needs. This includes adequate adult supervision, medical attention, housing, food and clothing. Most cases of physical neglect involve inadequate adult supervision that has caused harm to the child, or vulnerable adult, or placed them in danger of such harm.


I understand it is not my responsibility to investigate, and in no instance will I confront a parent or caregiver, if abuse is suspected. As a member of the Serve Team, I agree to comply with this policy and report any suspected abuse to the staff person who oversees the area in which I serve.
