We will seek to honor Jesus Christ by acting with integrity and not cheating, lying or stealing (Proverbs 12:22). 2. We will seek to honor Jesus Christ by having a spirit of forgiveness and unity, and not of anger or disagreement (Ephesians 4:1-3; 31). 3. We will seek to honor Jesus Christ with speech appropriate for followers of Christ, without obscenities, profanity or vulgarity (Ephesians 4:29). 4. We will seek to honor Jesus Christ with moral purity, without sexual immorality manifested in, but not limited to, pornography, sexual promiscuity, homosexuality or unmarried cohabitation (I Thessalonians 4:3-8). 5. We will seek to honor Jesus Christ by respecting those who have been placed in authority over us, without a spirit of either active or passive rebellion (I Peter 2:13-17). 6. We will seek to honor Jesus Christ by living in humility, without grumbling or complaining (Philippians 2:1-12). 7. We will seek to honor Jesus Christ by being diligent in all that we do, without being lazy or apathetic (Colossians 4:17). I have read the above and understand that failure to comply with these biblical values may result in disciplinary action and/or my dismissal from EBC. Signature: Date: Print Name:
