I will conduct my personal life, corporate ministry, and business affairs in a way that will not bring shame or reproach to the name of the Lord or Heart Stream or its members. Rather, I will speak to bring glory and pleasure to our Lord and encourage others to do likewise. (I Peter 1:14-16, 2:12, 4:11)

Walk In Love

When I believe a fellow member has sinned against me or the Lord, or has violated this Code of Ethics, I will follow the principles and procedures set forth in God's Word.  (Matthew 18:15-17)

Commitment

In matters of dispute with other Christians, to the extent that it is in my power to do so, I will attempt to submit my grievances to Christian arbitration for resolution rather than to the courts of the land (I Corinthians 6:1-8). Nothing herein shall be construed so as to prohibit a member from expressing his genuine concern to another brother in a spirit of love and in accordance with Matthew 18:15-17.

Conduct

 I will refrain from any sexual conduct or life-style, such as homosexuality or adultery, which is inconsistent with Scripture, or any promotion of the same. (Romans 1:24-32; Genesis 19; Leviticus 18:22; Exodus 20:14; John 8:1-11)

Declaration

We proclaim the message of the Gospel as the central truth of the historic Christian faith – the good news that God has rescued sinful humanity through the death and bodily resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ. All who repent of their sins and believe this Gospel are welcomed by God into a restored, eternal relationship with Him.
