- To conduct myself in a manner consistent with a church environment regarding appropriate language, dress and a zero tolerance of drug or alcohol use
- To graciously and respectfully receive direction and instruction in the performance of the assigned duties
- To bring grievances in a timely manner to the attention of a supervisor for prompt resolution
- To always promote a positive image of The Mustard Seed Street Church
- To respect and maintain confidentiality regarding community members
