The people who minister on our platform and in leadership or public roles are the most visible representatives of our fellowship and should mirror the spirit and standards we teach. Ministry is not the performance of an hour; it is the example of a godly lifestyle. Our character and devotion to God must be the foundation of what we project publicly.
Should you choose not to meet these minimum requirements, integrity and ethics would require that you not participate in public ministry at national meetings.
