Fine Print: Under the guidance of God s Spirit and from a joyful desire of my heart, I agree to become a leader of Harbor Light Assembly of God. As a leader, I do not pretend to be someone who I am not, for I am not spiritually superior to anyone, nor am I insecure or doubtful about my faith in Jesus Christ. Rather, I as simply one who knows that I have been genuinely touched by Jesus Christ and truly desire to serve Him and His kingdom through the ministry of Connections. I realize that my influence for Christ does not stop at the end of each service, but continues every minute of every day of every week. I am eager to see people come to faith in Jesus Christ and toward maturity in their walk with Him. As a leader, I will dedicate my prayers, my time and the resources God has given me toward the goal of reaching this generation for Jesus Christ. I will endeavour to work under God-ordained leadership, always striving for unity and never division. When conflicts arise, I will strive to resolve them quickly, walk humbly and will agree to submit to the decision of the leadership and/or team makes. If I find that I cannot work under the leadership, I will depart gracefully and with their blessing. I sign this agreement under no compulsion or personal ambition. Dated Signed_ - 6 -
