Code of Conduct for Children/Students
Parents/guardians, please have your children/students read these rules and help them understand anything that may be unclear to them.
Children/students, you must agree to abide by the following statements:
As a participant in Covenant Church’s Family Ministry activities, I agree that during my participation in, or attendance at, any ministry events, mission trips, or other activities, that I am responsible for my actions.
- I recognize that everyone in the group is a part of the body of Christ. I will make every effort to ensure that everyone feels welcome and important.
- Participate fully in all scheduled group activities and abide by additional group guidelines at any ministry events.
- Follow all instructions given by group leaders and chaperones without complaint.
- I will respect the physical and emotional well-being of others by treating them as I would like to be treated. (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 and could result in disciplinary action.
- Respect the things I use and the property of places I visit. The areas used for all events, including transportation, shall be left clean.
- Avoid inappropriate public displays of affection.
- 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.
I voluntarily pledge to follow the Code of Conduct during my participation in all Covenant Church events. I understand that if I fail to abide by this Code of Conduct, I may not be allowed to continue to participate in Family Ministry events.
