Revolution Church - Leadership Expectations

Church leadership isn't defined by specific positions or formal titles. Instead, it is a role given to people in the church whose trust in Christ, as well as their love and respect for God's people, can serve as a model for others.


Listed below are the expectations of anyone serving in a leadership position at Revolution Church. 

This includes anyone leading from the platform, ministering to kids/students, leading ministry teams and/or small groups.

  • Be obedient to the principles of Biblical stewardship, financially supporting the work of the church and the furtherance of the Kingdom of God.  (Gen. 28:20-22; Malachi 3:8-12; 2 Cor. 9:6, Phil. 4:14-20)

  • Function in their giftedness. (I Cor. 12; Romans 12:4-8)

( I Cor. 8:8-13, 6:13; Eph. 2:19-22, Eph. 5:3, Rom. 1:26-28, I Tim. 1:8-11, Prov. 20:1)

  • Build strong relationships with one another and more importantly, with new people, being ambassadors for Christ with a heart for reconciliation, putting aside our personal views (such as politics) and becoming a servant to all men. (Romans 12:9-13, 1 Cor 5:16-21, 1 Cor 9:19-23)


    Revolution Church - Leadership Honor Code

    As a leader at Revolution Church, we ask that you refrain from all behaviors which might cause Christ to grieve and others to stumble.
