Church leaders are called to be above reproach (1 Timothy 3, Titus 1). In order to be very clear about what is and isn’t appropriate conduct by church leaders (paid and voluntary), the church has created and adopted a set of ministry boundaries. These boundaries operate as a professional boundaries policy. They are intended to clearly and succinctly, but not comprehensively, document godly wisdom with respect to appropriate boundaries for NBBC ministry staff and governance leaders. They are not primarily rules, but mandatory protocol designed to help church leaders connect to people in a manner that is healthy and safe for all parties. We encourage you to read this policy, and insist that all North Beach Baptist Church leaders follow it.
