Georgia College Wesley Foundation Intern Covenant

Being a part of leadership in the Body of Christ is a sacred privilege and something that should not be taken lightly. As an Intern, you are placed in the position of a pastor and elder here at Wesley. The Bible has clear criteria for deacons and overseers (see 1 Timothy 3:1-13 and Titus 1:5-11). At Wesley, we are committed to following these Biblical standards to the highest degree. The following covenant states clearly the moral and ethical values in which we expect you as an Intern to abide by:

By accepting the role of Intern at Wesley, I submit myself to the following covenant:

I will seek to know and serve the Lord as my first love.

I will be diligent in fulfiling all of the responsibilities entrusted to me. These include:

Faithfully attending and participating in the weekly Intern meeting

Attending prayer Leadership & Wednesday night services each week

Adhering to the requirements of my specific ministry area

Accepting the responsibility of being see as a leader at Wesley

Respond to the leadership given to me by the directors

I will conciously give myself to be an encourager of the other Interns in order to help build and maintain a unified and loving community.

I will live a life of celiabacy outside of the marriage covenant, and I will live above reproach and avoid even the appearance of immodesty in all my relationships. This includes purity in dating relationships and forbids sleeping over with the opposite sex.

I will live a life of sobriety. If under 21, I will adhere to the law and not drink at all. Realizing that my example could cause others to stumble, I will refrain from all drinking in public settings - bars, parties, etc. - in Milledgeville, and I will carefully consider the costs when choosing to partake of alcohol outside of Milledgeville.

I will be above reproach in the way that I both conduct myself and represent myself (and Wesley) through various social media outlets - Facebook, Snapchat, Text Messaging, Instagram, Twitter, etc.

I will zealously guard what I watch, read, and listen to so as to not grieve the Holy Spirit who makes me His temple.

With regard to all of the above, I will submit to those in authority over me (directors) and make myself accountable to them, as unto the Lord, throughout the entirety of my Internship.

I understand that I am making a committment for the entire 2019-2020 school year.

Mandatory Intern Training will be August 14-16, 2019.

Mandatory Leadership Training will be August 17, 2019.
