Leadership Board Covenant 
As a member of a Leadership Board of First United Methodist Church, Warrensburg, I will strive to grow in my faith through the following spiritual disciplines: prayer, study of scripture, worship (in person or online), giving generously and striving towards a tithe (if not already), participate in a small group, learning group as part of the church ministries, serve in at least one ministry outside my specific area of responsibility and seek opportunities to witness my faith.So that together we will “live so that all may know Jesus."
As a team member, I will…
  • lead in a manner consistent with The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church
  • Seek opportunities to collaborate with others and develop new leaders in the church.
  • Have high expectations of myself and others and will work toward excellence.
  • Work towards unity–remembering we are bound to one another through loyalty, respect, and mutual support.
  • Learn new ways of effectiveness in ministry.
  • Set aside my own preferences for the greater good.
  • Communicate with others clearly and regularly.
  • Seek opportunities to build community within the church.
In times of conflict or tension,
·I will seek to resolve differences in a Christ-like manner.
·I will seek to understand through active listening.
·leadership is expected to maintain confidentiality of appropriate matters, failure to do so is a breach of trust.
