I bring a teachable spirit into my position. I understand I may not agree with all decisions or assignments given to me, but I will do my best to maintain an attitude of trust. I promise to strive to be open with my leaders and teammates about my hurts and joys.

Recognizing that prayer is key to unlocking ministry potential (Colossians 4:2-4), I commit to pray for the ministry of our church and those we are serving. I will pray for the leadership and my teammates, coveting their prayers in return, that we may be mutually built up (James 5:16).
