Dispute Resolution Agreement
Lakeside Baptist Church believes that the Bible commands Christians to make every effort to live at peace and to resolve disputes with each other in private or within the Christian church (see Matthew 18:15-20; 1 Corinthians 6:1-8 Therefore, any dispute, not otherwise released or for which the risk was not assumed, arising from or related to allegations by or against workers, employees, volunteers, church members or their families, will be submitted to biblically based conciliation in accordance with the Rules of Procedure for Christian Conciliation. (A complete text of the Rules is available at http://www.hispeace.org/html/geticrul.htm That forum provides the best opportunity for resolving issues in a fair manner while seeking to preserve or restore the relationships fractured by the dispute and allowing the Church to continue its ministry to all people.
