Youth Code of Conduct
As a participant in Youth Ministry activities, I agree that, during my participation in, or attendance at, Youth Ministry events, mission trips or other activities that I am responsible for my actions.
Recognize that everyone in the group is a part of the body of Christ. I will embrace inclusiveness by making sure that everyone feels welcome and important.
Respect the physical and emotional well-being of others by “doing unto them as I would have them do unto me.” (This includes refraining from harsh play or violence, refraining from harmful jokes, respecting the need for personal space, etc.)
Respect the health of my own body by refraining from the use of tobacco, alcohol, and illegal drugs. I understand that the use of these substances is absolutely prohibited.
Respect the things I use and the property of places I visit. The areas used for all events, including transportation, shall be left clean.
Participate fully in all scheduled group activities and abide by additional group guidelines at any youth events.
Avoid inappropriate public displays of affection.
Follow all instructions given by group leaders and chaperones without protest. (An instruction may be politely and discretely questioned if it seems unreasonable).
Stay within the group or assigned sub-group at all times. I will not wander off alone or leave the activity site unless granted permission by an adult, and I will report for all designated check-in times.
Hold safety in the highest regard and refrain from compromising my own safety or another’s safety.
Provide a trusting environment for my peers. When others share something about themselves in a group discussion, I will not repeat that information to other friends outside of the group.
