Policy Handbook

The Policey Manual has been prepared by the Policy Committee of the Reed City Church of the Nazarene, and approved by the church board. It is not intended to be a set of “hard” rules but a guideline to help all understand the policies of the church and to help eliminate potential misunderstandings. It is with this intent in mind that the manual has been compiled.

Any organization needs certain “ground rules” or guiding principles to operate in an orderly manner. Therefore, this handbook has been provided to inform you about our ministry and how it operates.

Working conditions and responsibilities change over time as the ministry grows. This necessitates changes in policies and procedures.  This handbook contains general information ensuring smooth operation of this ministry and the well-being of each team member. As it becomes necessary, the handbook will be revised.

This handbook has been primarily written and formulated through meetings and discussions among employees and lay persons. It is the product of the people involved, not a set of rules from management. Input for changes, additions or other clarification is always welcome by anyone using this handbook.

The physical presence of the church in the community stands as a symbol of faith and hope. Though a well-maintained facility may be but window dressing, to those outside the community of faith it may be the bridge that opens their hearts to the gospel.

For this reason, it is important that we consider our guests’ first impressions. These impressions start when guests first see the church building from the expressway or 220th Avenue and end when they drive away after the service. These first impressions include guest parking, parking attendants, signs, greeters, information center, nurseries, and restrooms. Our facilities should be accommodating to everyone. Remember, making a lasting impression begins with a clean, well-kept church facility.
