Expectations
With excellence in mind, the following is a list of expectations for each member of the student ministries team:
1. Maintain a healthy devotional life. A daily walk with God is the key to an effective ministry.
2. Live a life worthy of your calling…” (Ephesians 4:1). Strive to walk with integrity and purity of heart every day.
3. Punctuality is vital to the success of all events and services. Please be on time for services. Team members should arrive 15 minutes early to services to prepare for the service.
4. Attend at least 75% of Sunday morning services at Encounter Church.
5. Be respectful of leadership and other ministry team members.
6. Be prepared for service. Ministry leaders are vital to encouraging the students to grow deeper in their walk with Christ.
7. Membership to Encounter Church is encouraged, but not required.
Stance on Alcohol
As an Assemblies of God church, we stand by the official position paper released by the Assemblies of God regarding the consumption of alcohol.

https://ag.org/Beliefs/Position-Papers/Abstinence-from-Alcohol

All members of the student ministries team are encouraged to read this stance to better understand our position. In light of this stance, these are the following requirements for those who serve on the student ministries team:
1. Consumption of alcohol, especially with the intent to get drunk, is strongly discouraged. Those who “socially drink” or “drink in moderation” are encouraged to prayerfully reconsider since they could potentially cause other believers to stumble into the sin of drunkenness and the addiction of alcoholism.
2. Posting about consumption of alcohol on social media is strictly prohibited.
3. All ministry leaders involved in small group or stage ministry must abstain from alcohol consumption.
Dress Code
If you are involved with the stage ministry of the student ministries team, please adhere to the following dress code:
1. Please make sure that what you wear on stage isn’t too tight, revealing, short (above the knee is considered too “short”), sleeveless, or distracting in any way.
