A CODE OF CONDUCT FOR STAFF AND LEADERS MINISTERING AT St Philip s Deep Creek Anglican Live worthy of the gospel Phil 1:27 This code is designed to assist us to minister together in a way that honours Christ, promotes the salvation He has won and expresses the gospel values of grace, truth and hope. 1. I commit to deepening my relationship with Jesus Christ through regular prayer, the reading of the Scriptures and committed fellowship with others. I am accountable to God and a member of His church. In all things I will seek to live a godly life before the Lord (Col 1:10a). 2. I will prioritise attendance and participation at the monthly Prayer Get-Togethers and other corporate prayer gatherings (Eph 6:18). 3. In my relationships I will seek to act with respect and honesty, in an attitude of service and humility (Phil 2:3-5). 4. In my speech and all other communications (eg. email, social media, texting etc) I will be truthful, avoiding exaggeration, misrepresentation, gossip and slander (Col 3:8). 5. In my ministry I will be prepared and punctual, considering the needs of those to whom and with whom I minister and loyal to those who lead me. 6. In situations where conflict and division occur I will pursue reconciliation with a willingness to forgive and repent. I will not be a party to triangulation and will follow the biblical process (Matt 18:15-17; Col 3:13-14). 7. In all my personal relationships I will practice standards of sexual morality reflecting a commitment to holiness and agree to uphold those standards in any public teaching, particularly as expressed in the Statement by the Melbourne Anglican Synod 1993, that This Synod re-affirms the Christian standard of faithfulness within marriage and chastity outside marriage (Col 3:5). 8. In my ministry I will promote a safe environment. Sexual harassment or abuse in any form will neither be tolerated nor able to take place undetected. 9. I will not enter a romantic or a dependent relationship that is inappropriate or illegal in terms of role, power, gender, marital status or age. 10. In financial matters I will act with honesty and publicly account for all monies handled by me on behalf of others. 11. In my personal use of money I will seek to express holiness, which includes the rejection of greed and self-centredness and the adoption of extravagant generosity and sacrifice, considering the needs of others. 12. I hold to the Statement of Belief on the Deep Creek Anglican Church website.

13. In my ministry I will encourage and teach the values in this Code. 14. I will let the person to whom I am immediately accountable in the parish know when I am not able to follow this Code with integrity. 15. I will ensure that I am familiar with Diocesan requirements of appropriate conduct as a church worker (pastoral staff, leader), as laid out in the relevant Diocesan policies, including Faithfulness in Service, the Duty of Care Handbook and The Code of Good Practice.
