waymaker Code of conduct

---

To glorify God though theater, our interactions with others, and our witness to the watching world.

To impact lives for eternity through uncompromisingly Christ-centered theatrical opportunities, community, and training.

Waymaker Arts exists to serve and value others by cultivating their artistic and creative skills through performance and education in the arts, reflecting its mission and vision in all activities.

At Waymaker Arts We strive to be representatives of Christ, all ministry members—including cast, crew, leadership, and volunteers—are expected to:

• Conduct themselves in a manner that reflects Christ’s love (Colossians 3:17).
• Uphold integrity, honesty, and respect in all interactions (Ephesians 4:25).
• Integrity – Live out biblical values consistently, ensuring actions align with truth and faithfulness.
• Honesty – Be transparent and truthful in all interactions, avoiding deception while fostering trust.
• Respect – Listen to leadership and do not try to lead when it is not your place. Treat others with dignity, grace and kindness, valuing their contributions and handling conflicts with Christlike love.
• Foster a culture of encouragement, humility, and servant-hearted leadership (Philippians 2:3-4).
• Avoid speech or actions that are harmful, derogatory, or divisive (Ephesians 4:29).
• Ensure that all artistic and personal choices align with our mission to glorify God.
• Understand that we are a Christian organization first and will begin all our events in prayer.

As a ministry that strives for artistic and spiritual excellence, all members must:
