- In addition to the rehearsals Worship members are expected to attend and serve in both Sunday morning services until the services are complete or the position requirements are fulfilled.

Accountability
- Accountability is paramount to a church leader. As a member of Frontline Worship you are considered a leader at The Rock. Maturing the Believer is one of the foundational missions. We believe that having an accountability partner is a great way to help grow in our walk with Christ. We expect our worship team members to develop a relationship with someone that can speak into their lives, keep them accountable, and help them live a Godly life. Because of the nature and depth of conversation between accountability partners, it should be with someone of the same sex and of strong spiritual character.

Church Honor Code
We hold firm to a set of guiding principles that define our character and uphold the essence of who we are as a community of faith. This Honor Code is a reflection of our commitment to these principles, which inspire us to maintain a standard in alignment with the path that God has called us to as His devoted followers.
At The Rock, embodying the core values of "We believe for the best," "We are one," "We serve together," "We are real," and "We value every person" is at the heart of being a servant leader. Your role here is not just about leadership; it's about nurturing mature Christian behavior that stems from a genuine desire to serve. As you engage with the Body of Christ and our wider community, you undertake the responsibility to consistently present yourself with dignity. In both your conduct and appearance, the aspiration is to exemplify the teachings of the Bible in every circumstance. By embodying these values, we not only reflect our own character but also how others perceive Christ through us. To uphold our values, leaders at The Rock are called to maintain a disciplined life of personal devotion, rooted in regular engagement with God's Word, prayer, fasting, and steadfast participation in weekend services.
Additionally, we commit to abstaining from:
>> Ungodly speech (Ephesians 4:29)
>> Drunkenness (Ephesians 5:18)
>> Dishonest gain (Proverbs 28:20, Proverbs 11:1, Proverbs 13:11)
>> Illegal drugs (I Corinthians 6:19-20)
>> Posting to social media things that would reflect negatively on you as a leader (1 Thessalonians 5:22)
>> Pornography (Colossians 3:5, Ephesians 5:3, I John 2:16)
>> Sexual immorality (I Thessalonians 4:3-5, I Corinthians 6:18)
>> All behaviors which might cause Christ to grieve and others to stumble (I Corinthians 8:13)
Through our words and actions, we serve as living examples, encouraging others to embrace Christ's teachings and embrace the role of servant leadership. This commitment becomes a way of life, shaped by the fusion of our core values and the dedication of each leader within The Rock community. Rather than a burden, we consider it an essential aspect of our growth, allowing us to manifest our values and character with authenticity.
