Policies

CedarCreek’s main purpose for all mission trips is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19-20

All monetary deadlines will be communicated well in advance. Please be faithful in your responsibilities. Please do not ask for exceptions or extensions. Due to CedarCreek’s non-profit status, no money may be refunded after a donation is turned in for a mission trip. All money turned in will be used at the discretion of the church Elders for mission activities.

Team unity is a must for all mission teams. Therefore, each participant must make at least 3 of the 4 training meetings or they may be asked to withdraw from the team.

Always remember we are a mission team going to serve. We are open to God’s will and his plans. Therefore, we must always be willing to be flexible. No plans are ever set in stone. Remember to be flexible.

Respect others and present yourself quietly, humbly, modestly and positively.

Profanity is not acceptable at any time. “Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification.” Ephesians 4:29

Complaining of any sort will not be tolerated. If you have a problem or complaint with someone or anything, take your concerns to your team leader.

Be thankful, appreciative and sensitive to your hosts. Everything they do for your group is voluntary and may not be paid for by their church.

Personal appearance and conduct should always be glorifying the Lord. Facial, body or tongue piercing should not be evident or exposed to others while on mission trips. It is OK for each of us to be unique individuals, we do not want anything to distract from our emphasis on Jesus Christ and his Gospel.

Unacceptable activities during mission trips include but are not limited to:
1. Using Narcotics (Prescription medicines are the only exception)
2. Consuming any alcoholic beverage (unless specific exception is made – If you are not sure then no exception has been made)
3. Gambling of any kind
4. Dating or attempting to start a romantic relationship of any kind
