BAYSIDE POLICY STATEMENT

As a member of a Bayside Short-Term Mission team, you will need to understand that it takes many elements to insure the success of a trip.
In order to sustain the effectiveness, quality and safety of our team and trip, I agree and acknowledge that I will:

REPRESENT JESUS

Use behavior consistent with being a guest in someone’s home. If my hosts would rather not see bare arms, shirtless backs and exposed legs, I will cover mine. I will attempt to eat what I am served, being thankful for God’s provision.
Be a learner, rather than a teacher. Local methods that seem to be inefficient or close-minded do not need my comment. I will be open to learning how other people think and carry out their ideas.
Respect other’s outlook of Christianity. There are many ways to carry out the work of Christ. We are to each work out our salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. Philippians 2:12b-13
Will abstain from the use of alcoholic beverages, tobacco or illegal drugs while on this trip.
