Module 3: CODE OF CONDUCT FOR WORKERS
About Course
The Lord Jesus calls us the light of the world, Matt. 5:14-16, the salt of the
earth – Matt. 5: 13 – and the ambassadors of Christ – John 20:21. These
imply that we are very important to God and our responsibilities are heavy.
In order to effectively and correctly discharge our responsibilities to God
and His Church, without failing God or disappointing the Pastor who
recommended us, every worker should observe the following code of
conduct. He/she must be:
(a) Totally submissive to constituted authorities of the Mission – I Pet. 5:5;
1 Cor. 16:16; Hebrews 13:17, e.g.
(i) When travelling he/she should inform the Pastor – 2 Kings 6:2.
(ii) Should be ready to attend all meetings and go wherever he/she
is sent – Joshua 1:16.
(iii) Be absolutely obedient to Pastor/Assistant Pastors when they
give orders that do not contradict the Bible – I Pet: 5:5.
(iv) Be an example to the congregation in submitting to the
doctrine of the Church -Titus 2:7; I Tim. 4:12; I Tim. 4:6; Titus 1:9.
(v) Be an example to the congregation in spending and being spent
for God – 2 Cor. 12:15; Gal. 2:20.
(b) Hygienic in all dispositions – Isaiah 52:11.
(c) Well dressed in accordance with the Scriptures. Where there is any
doubt, must be willing to give the benefits of doubt to the Lord – I Pet. 3:1-4,
I Tim.2:9, Isa.3:16-26.
(d) Someone who will be a worthy ambassador of both Christ and His
Church such that if he/she be transferred from his/her working place to
a town/village where there is no branch of this church, he/she will
promptly start one – Acts 8:4; Acts 11: 19.
(e) Only too happy to attend all-night vigils and/or organise such in his/her
home – Luke 6:12; Acts 16:25.
(f) Punctual at all Local, Area, Zonal, Provincial or national meetings – Heb.
10:25.
(g) Walking, worshipping and growing in the spirit constantly – Gal. 5: 16;
John 4:23-24, Psa. 117: 12; Col. 3: 16.

(h) Someone who enjoys a life of holiness and sanctification, living right in
the open and in secret and dwelling in love – 2 Pet. 3:18; 2 Tim. 3:14-17;
Eph. 5:2527, Matt. 5:13-16, Heb. 12:14, I Tim. 3:2.
(i) Ready always to do good works – Titus 2:14, Gal. 6:10.
(J) Ever ready to protect the good name of the church, I Tim. 3:7; Titus
1:10-13.
