ARTICLE X, SECTION 1- VOLUNTEERS IN MINISTRY

A. A Volunteer in Ministry is an individual who is not a Member of the Church and has no rights of Membership, but who professes faith in Jesus Christ, is a Bible believing born again Christian, and regularly attends public worship services of the Church.

B. A Volunteer in Ministry may participate in approved Church ministry, provided that he
respects the authority of the Church’s By-Law, including accepting and respecting the
beliefs of the Church on marriage as set out in Article III, Section 5 of this By-Law, which reads as follows:
“Marriage is a provision of God whereby a man (XY chromosome) as created by God, biologically revealed at birth, and a woman (XX chromosome) as created by God, biologically revealed at birth (Genesis 1:27, Matthew 19:4, Mark 10:6), live together in a life-long relationship recognized by the Church to enable both partners to meet their spiritual, emotional, physical and social needs. Marriage is endorsed by Scripture and was sanctioned by Christ’s presence at the wedding in Cana.
Christian marriage is more than either a temporary relationship of convenience intended to provide personal pleasure or a contract that binds two people together in a legal partnership. Within a marriage a “one flesh” relationship is created which goes beyond a physical union to establish an emotional and spiritual oneness, and to provide for the procreation of children.
Marriage is to be an exclusive relationship that is maintained in purity. It is intended by God to be a permanent relationship until natural death.

C. A Volunteer in Ministry may participate in approved Church ministry, provided that he respects the authority of the Church’s By-Law, including accepting and respecting the beliefs of the Church for Members as set out Article VI, Section 1, Paragraph B of this By- Law, which reads as follows:

They shall refrain from “acts of the sinful nature: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery, idolatry and witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition and the like” (Galatians 5:19-21), as may be determined by the Deacon Board of Directors in its sole discretion. Sexual immorality shall be interpreted to mean common-law marital relationships, pre-marital and extra-marital sexual relationships (1 Corinthians 6:15-16; 7:1-2; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8; Hebrews 13:4), and from all forms of homosexual and lesbian activity, along with other practices deemed inexcusable for Christian conduct, and which place a person under God’s judgment (Romans 1:25-2:11), as may be determined by the Deacon Board of Directors with plenary authority.

D. A Volunteer in Ministry may participate in ministry of the Church. The Deacon Board of Directors can, with plenary authority, restrict any Church ministry to Members of the Church.

E. The determination of whether an individual meets the qualifications of a Volunteer in Ministry shall be made by the Deacon Board of Directors with plenary authority after an appropriate personal interview by either a member of the Deacon Board of Directors or by a pastor who is a member of the Church’s full-time staff. The decision of the Deacon Board of Directors shall be final in this regard and not subject to appeal.

F. A Volunteer in Ministry shall be subject to the same Church Discipline as a Member as set out in Article VI, Section 6 of this By-Law.

G. A Volunteer in Ministry has the privilege to attend but not vote at all meetings of Members.

H. They shall indicate a desire to live in harmony with this body of believers, shall give credible professional of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour, shall accept and live by the doctrinal standards as set forth in this By-Law, and shall be regular financial supporters of the Church.

It is my earnest prayer that God shall keep me true to Him, but should I, for any reason, depart from the faith, cease to attend Church on the Queensway as described above, cease to live a godly life or change my doctrinal beliefs, I shall voluntarily cease to volunteer or serve at Church on the Queensway.
