Christian Union Summer Projects
As participants in a Christian Union summer project, we represent a Christian community and our Lord Jesus Christ. For this reason, we strive to behave in a manner consistent with the instruction presented in God’s Word, the Bible. Individually, and as a group, we should remember that when we visit any establishment it is our responsibility to learn its rules and comply with them. Through this demonstration of self-governance, we will foster good relationships with the community. With this in mind, we present these guidelines. Please take time to prayerfully read and understand these Bible verses. If you would like to talk to our staff about how to know Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, or to discuss the meaning of any of these Bible verses, please reach out to your local CU staff members or the Project Director. It will be our joy to speak with you.- Show respect for authority, whether that is the pastor of a local church, government and its laws, community leaders, or a leader of a CU event (1 Peter 2:13-17; Romans 13:1).
- Have an attitude of compassion for the differences, needs or disabilities of others, speaking with kindness toward one another (Matthew 7:12; James 2:1-9; Galatians 5:22-23).
- Act and speak in a manner worthy of the God who calls you. Unkind remarks, profanity, course jokes, conversation involving occult or sexual situations or other language unbecoming of a Christian is unacceptable at CU Summer Project events (1 Timothy 5:1-3; 1 Thessalonians 2:12; Ephesians 4:1 & 5:4).
- Glorify God in our bodies, abstaining from pre-marital sex, as well as all forms of pornography and intentional, habitual mental fantasies. Take active steps to avoid inappropriate situations and physical encounters (1 Corinthians 6:12-20; Matthew 5:27-28; Ephesians 5:3).
- Honor the wishes, property and culture of those we are visiting, not causing an offense (1 Corinthians 8:7-13; Philippians 2:3-4; Romans 12:17b).
