  • child abuse

Discipline

  1. We are a community of believers committed to moral purity. It is the expectation of our community that we will hold each other accountable and not ignore violations of this standard by one another. 

  2. Everyone should expect that behaviors that are contrary to this Policy will be addressed with appropriate   disciplinary measures. 

  3. Appropriate discipline serves to protect the well-being of the community in MLT, the Church and Others. It is our belief that confronting an offender in love will lead the offender towards a path of repentance and restoration. You should be aware that appropriate discipline may include termination of membership status, employment or volunteer privileges. 

  4. Good judgment based on biblical principles should guide us to act appropriately. If you are unsure about an ethical course of action in a specific situation, you should discuss your concerns with the person to whom you report in MLT or your local MLT administration
