Church and Sunday School Standard
Whereas,
a church and Sunday School officer and teacher occupies a position of utmost
importance and is looked up to as a guide and example by virtue of the work:
Be it resolved, that all teachers, officers and
regularly appointed substitutes or assistant teacher, and officers of the
Church, before appointment or re-appointment, shall be truly born again
Christians and members in good standing of the church.
Further, that all shall subscribe to
the following:
(1)
I believe that faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the only condition of
salvation. John 14:6; Acts 4:12, Eph. 2:8-9
(2)
Relying on the Holy Spirit for guidance and power, I will strive to win
souls to Christ and will engage in prayer and personal work to that end. Matt.
28:19-20; 1 John 2:17.
(3)
I will engage to prepare my lessons and/ or perform my duties in such a
way that the work may glorify the lord. 1 Corinthians 2:13; Colossians 3:17.
(4)
I will purpose to glorify the Lord in my personal life: by abstaining
from those practices which degrade my personal and public testimony; and by
actively engaging in those areas affecting spiritual growth. II Corinthians
6:17; I Thessalonians 5:22; I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20; I John 2:15-17.
