COMMITMENT OF CHRIST-CENTERED LIFESTYLE (As explained in the document, “Sports Crusaders Staff Covenant” attached at the end of the application)*

From the application process through the completion of service (August 2020) with Sports Crusaders, I commit to abstain from sex (unless married), alcohol, drugs, and behavior that is not edifying to Christ and this ministry. The following commitment form is to be signed and turned in with your application. It will be revisited at Leadership Training if you are hired as Summer Staff. It is a privilege to be called a Sports Crusader. Grace is God’s precious gift, but the expectation to be an example is required in word, conduct, faith, love and purity, (1Timothy 4:12). We hold the reputation and legacy of Christ’s ministry in high regard and expectation. Once a Sports Crusader, you are always a part of this family. Seriously consider your calling to this ministry prior to signing.
