Code of Ethics

I desire to model Christ-likeness in all my behavior, especially as I serve in ministry to youth and children at Watermark Community Church. I aim to demonstrate my love for the Lord Jesus, my gratitude for His grace and forgiveness, and testify to the power of the Holy Spirit working in my life.

I desire to demonstrate respect, loyalty, patience, courtesy, and maturity.

I will treat children of all races, religions, and cultures with respect and consideration.

I will not abuse children / youth, in any way, including but not limited to:

• Physical abuse (e.g. strike, shake, slap)
• Verbal / Mental abuse (e.g. humiliate, degrade, threaten)
• Sexual abuse (e.g. inappropriate touch, or exposure)

I will not possess or use illegal drugs. I will not possess or use alcohol or tobacco in the context of
ministry.

I will not use or tolerate profanity in the presence of children.

I understand that any violation of this Code may be grounds for dismissal, discipline, or other action by
the Church.

I recognize that, as a condition to my service, any references may be contacted, a background check may be made and a criminal history check may be conducted, and I willingly consent to all such checks. I further authorize my references to give you any information they may have regarding my character and fitness for working with children and / or youth. I release Watermark Community Church and all such references from any and all liability for any damage that may result from furnishing such evaluations to you, and I waive any right that I have to inspect references provided on my behalf.

I understand that if I have questions about this Code of Ethics, any church policies, or any aspect of my service with Watermark Community Church, I will contact the Pastor or Children's Ministry staff person for clarification and guidance.
