Code of Conduct & Covenant Along with the adult advisors and other youth, I agree to conduct myself in a Christian manner. I promise to respect God, respect myself, respect other people, respect property, and respect God’s creation. To this end, as a willing participant in Youth Group & Trips of First Presbyterian Church of Sumter, SC for the school year of 2013-2014 and the summer of 2014, I covenant to abide by the following: 1. I will actively and enthusiastically participate in all activities and events as I am able for the duration of each activity or trip that I attend. I will welcome every individual as a member of our community, whether they are from our church, are a guest, or are the member of another church. 2. At all times, I will behave in a responsible Christian manner, respecting other people and the authority of the Youth Pastor and adult advisors, remembering that I am a representative of my family and of First Presbyterian Church. I will also respect and abide by the decisions and plans made by the Youth Pastor and adult advisors. 3. I will operate by the buddy system, always keeping at least one other youth with me at all times. 4. I will remember that as a member of First Presbyterian Church youth group, all of my actions will reflect upon my church family. I will not use or possess alcohol, tobacco, fireworks, firearms, or illegal drugs while participating in Youth Group. I will also refrain from any inappropriate sexual behavior. 5. I will abide by the FPC Youth Group House Rules. I will abide by the rules and regulations established by any group with which we are traveling. 6. I understand that if I am unable to behave in any way the Youth Pastor and/or adult advisors determine responsible and respectful or violate any section of this covenant, my actions or inactions could result in disciplinary measures including the immediate end of my involvement in any trips and youth programming. All expenses incurred during disciplinary actions, including special travel arrangements, will be the responsibility of my family. 7. I understand that any pictures that may be taken during this or any other First Presbyterian Church event may be posted in the newsletter or on the website, or used for general publicity purposes. I have read the First Presbyterian Church’s Youth Group Code of Conduct & Covenant, and I promise to God and the community to live by this covenant. _______________________________________________________ ___________________________ Youth Signature Date I have read this covenant over with my youth, and we both understand & agree to it. _______________________________________________________ ___________________________ Parent/Guardian Signature Date
