Behavior of Staff Members

Staff members are expected to uphold the doctrines and standards of RCS as articulated in the Bible and RCS’s Statement of Faith and Standard of Conduct in all aspects of their lives, both at and away from RCS employment and functions. Staff members must uphold by precept and example the highest Christian virtue and personal decorum, serving as a Christian role model in judgment, dignity, respect, and Christian living both at and away from RCS. Staff members must faithfully attend all ministry services and take an active part in the total ministry program.

Staff members must be loyal to the ministry leadership of RCS in word and in deed. To ensure orderly operations and provide the best possible work environment, RCS expects staff members to follow rules of conduct that will protect the interests and safety of all staff members and the organization.

Although it is impossible to list all forms of behavior that are expected and prohibited of RCS staff members the following lists provide examples of expected and prohibited behaviors.
