TEAM EXPECTATIONS:

•Prepare in prayer. Ask the Lord to give you His heart for His people, and to allow the Holy Spirit to lead you in all conversations and communication.

•Dress appropriately. When making any visits, dress in a manner that would honor Christ and not cause others to stumble.

•Serve when scheduled. On your scheduled days, follow through with the commitment you have made. We want you serving in your gifts and passions, and in ministry that is enjoyable to you. Please communicate with our staff if you feel that you need a break for a season, or if you would like help finding a different area to serve.

•Serve with passion, commitment, and excellence. Above all else, remember that you represent Jesus Christ. Conduct yourself worthy of His calling on your life, leaning on His direction for all your ministry opportunities.
