Servant Team Covenant
Servant Team members adopt a lifestyle of sacrificial love, learning and leadership, as outlined in the statement below.
All members must sign it when they join and recommit every three years afterward.
-
GROWTH: I am committed to ongoing spiritual growth under God’s grace through consistent involvement
in prayer, Bible-reading and fellowship (John 15:4-5). I will strive to exemplify the character of a deacon
(1 Timothy 3:8-12). I will continue as a regular, fully-engaged member of a Dwell home church,
central teaching and cell group.
-
UNITY: I am committed to preserving unity in our church[1].
I will work in cooperation with the elders and support the direction they set. I will attend Servant Team gatherings.
I will exhort other team members to keep the commitments in this covenant. I will resign my role if I am morally disqualified
or cannot in good conscience comply any longer with this covenant.
-
TRUTH: I am committed to the essential teachings of the Bible and fully affirm our statement of faith[2].
I commit to ongoing equipping by either taking a class every two years or participating in a challenge group.
I will be a life-long learner of God’s truth.
-
SERVICE: I am committed to the fulfillment of the Great Commission: both through sharing my faith and
discipling others (Matthew 28:18-20). I will continue to serve by loving my brothers and sisters as Jesus loves me,
using my spiritual gifts and helping younger Christians mature. I am also committed to a life of generous financial
stewardship, including membership in the Fiscal Support Team. I would be willing to lead a home church if asked.
