I understand that the stewardship of God’s money and other resources will be included in the responsibilities of this board membership and I promise never to allow my personal needs, or those of the other ministries that God has called me to serve, to improperly influence my decisions or actions as a member of this board of directors.

I promise to treat my fellow board members, officers, employees, those who serve us and all those we serve with respect understanding that we are equal in God’s sight. I will pray for my fellow board members.
