Moral Code of Conduct

Trinity Church requires that all employees abide by a Christian and moral code of conduct. Do you agree with and will you conduct your life in accord with the following statements which reflect the Church's position regarding moral behavior? Indicate your response by marking Agree or Disagree below and include comments you feel would be helpful in clarifying areas of disagreement.

Substance Abuse *

The human body, as the temple of the Holy Spirit, should be maintained in health, not abused by overeating, or by failure to get sufficient exercise or rest. During my internship/residency I will not be involved in the production, sale, purchase, or use of alcoholic beverages, tobacco, narcotics, or other harmful substances. _____ Agree _____ Disagree

Marriage and Sexuality. *

Human sexuality is to be expressed only within the monogamous, heterosexual framework of marriage. Marriage is a lifelong relationship and a covenant union made in the sight of God and should take priority over all other human relationships. Though all sexuality outside biblically centered boundaries are immoral, there is redemption and restoration through God’s grace and Christ’s work on the cross. _____ Agree _____ Disagree

Sanctity of Life. *

We believe in the sanctity of life. There are no justifiable grounds to deliberately end the life of an individual through medical or any other means (i.e. abortion, euthanasia). Other than in rare pregnancies where grave medical conditions threaten the life of the mother, the use of induced abortion is not acceptable. _____ Agree _____ Disagree
