As an Overcoming Obstacles Network Partner, I recognize that I am representing both Jesus Christ and Overcoming Obstacles Ministries in my actions and attitudes, and in this role, I serve as an influence on the lives of those around me. I commit to this “Code of Conduct” wherein I will do my best to live a life worth following, according to Biblical standards (2 Corinthians 5:11-21). Perfection is not the expectation; rather, as a network, we are simply acknowledging that accepting this leadership role means you are accepting a higher standard of Christian maturity and commitment.
- I commit myself first and foremost to Biblical standards. I also commit to faithfully uphold the community standards established by the leadership of Overcoming Obstacles Ministries. To that end, I acknowledge the authority of Scripture and understand both the personal and leadership ramifications of my involvement in the following areas (Colossians 3:1-17):
- Alcohol
- Tobacco/Marijuana
- Sexual Identity
- Addictive Substances
- Premarital/extramarital relationships
- Profanity
- Inappropriate print/media entertainment
- I recognize the importance of discipleship and accountability as part of my ongoing growth and leadership. I commit to remaining humble enough to allow for conversations which can both challenge me and catalyze my growth
- In all interactions with event hosts, fellow team members, and event attendees, I will endeavor to represent myself and Overcoming Obstacles ministries well by my professionalism, kindness, and enthusiasm
- I recognize that, in today’s world, how I present myself online is also an influence on those around me. I commit to maintaining a social media presence fitting for a leader
- I commit to upholding the highest possible standards of excellence in the events I lead by honoring God and delivering an event experience that is impactful, enjoyable, memorable, and consistent with the Overcoming Obstacles Ministries mission/message
