MODULE 4: DISCIPLINE AMONG WORKERS

(a) Where there is love, there must be discipline—Hebrews 12:6, Rev. 3:

19. Consequently, in this Mission, if any worker sins or does anything that

his/her Pastor considers inimical to the progress or good image of this

church, will receive instant and adequate punishment. Such punishment

which will be proportional to the offence ranges from an open rebuke

among fellow-workers, suspension from workers meetings for a period of

time to total dismissal from workers cadre.

(b) During period of discipline or suspension from workers’ meeting, the

worker under discipline must attend all the church services regularly.

sitting wherever the Pastor shall appoint—Hebrews 12:5-8; Prov. 3:11-12.

(c) If a worker is not satisfied with the discipline imposed on him/her,

he/she has the right to appeal, first to the Area Pastor and ultimately to the

General Overseer if not satisfied by the Area Pastor’s ruling.

(d) If a worker shows genuine repentance, he/she may be pardoned

before the period specified for the suspension.

(e) If a worker shows no genuine repentance, his/her period of

suspension must be automatically extended. If after an extension of the

suspension period there is still no repentance, such a worker may be

recommended to the General Overseer, through the Area Pastor, for

dismissal from the workers’ cadre.
