Lifestyle Considerations

Because of the unique and special nature of Ridgecrest Summer Camps, employees are expected to manifest conduct and actions which project an image consistent with the expressed purpose and mission of the Camp. Southern Baptist churches have voluntarily given the Camp a place of influence based upon the values of trust and respect. It is, therefore, imperative that employees favorably represent the Camp.

Conduct which brings embarrassment to the Camp or impedes its credibility with constituents is unacceptable. Conduct or other actions which are inconsistent with that normally expected of Southern Baptist denominational employees and other Christians are unacceptable. Similarly, conduct or other actions which are perceived as inconsistent are unacceptable. Examples of such conduct are involvement with alcohol, illegal drugs, pre-marital or extra-marital sex, cohabitation apart from the marriage relationship, homosexuality, and outside interests and pursuits which would normally be considered incompatible with the Camp’s mission.

Ridgecrest Summer Camps has not only the right, but also the responsibility to do everything possible to insure the stated purpose and mission of the Camp continues in its highest tradition and is not harmed or impeded by unacceptable behavior on the part of its employees.

Consistent with the purpose, the Camp’s policy is to insure that all applicant and employee behavior meets the Camp’s standards of acceptable conduct. As a part of this policy, an individual’s current and past conduct is reviewed. Therefore, please respond accordingly to the inquiry below. A yes answer may not automatically disqualify you from further consideration for employment, as each individual’s circumstances are reviewed.

Do you have, or have you had, any lifestyle, conduct, or activity which would project an image which could embarrass the Camp or impede its credibility with its constituents as referred to above?

Unemployment Insurance

Lifeway Christian Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention is not governed by the Tennessee Employee Security Act and therefore does not provide unemployment compensation insurance coverage to its employees.
