Volunteer Expectations

At AnchorPoint Church we're committed to creating safe environments

Volunteers at AnchorPoint Church perform a vital role in helping our Church achieve its mission and vision. Your Department Leader will work with you to formulate a volunteering commitment that suits both you and the Church and then provide you with any necessary training and support specific to your role.

As a volunteer, you are a representative of AnchorPoint Church. It’s therefore expected that you reflect the values of the organisation while serving as a volunteer.

The following expectations are for all volunteers. Please note that there may be other additional expectations specific to your particular role. If you have any questions or concerns about any aspect of these expectations, speak with your Department Leader or a Pastor.

1. ONGOING COMMITMENT

  • Your commitment confirmed by this signed form will be for a period of 12 months from February 2026 until January 2027.
  • Volunteers will thereafter be asked to sign a new agreement annually, as long as they continue in their role.

2. Volunteering Requirements

  • Work with your Department Leader to settle upon an agreed volunteering commitment including role description and frequency of volunteering.
  • Do everything within your power to fulfil all your agreed volunteering commitments. If circumstances arise that prevent you from being able to fulfil your commitment you agree to communicate this in a timely manner so that every effort can be undertaken to ensure that a replacement can be found.
    1. In the first instance, you agree to attempt to arrange another trained volunteer to swap with you or fulfil your commitment for you. If this is successful, you will then contact your Department Leader to inform them.
    2. If a replacement cannot be arranged or your circumstances prevent you from attempting to find a replacement, you will contact your Department Leader to inform them that you’re unable to fulfil your commitment.

3. Team Development

  • You agree to engage in ongoing team development and training that may be provided from time to time by your Department Leader.

4. Cultural Alignment

  • Read the Statement of Faith. (See below) Although not all volunteer roles require that you agree with the Statement of Faith you understand that these beliefs do undergird the Church.
  • Complete and sign the Volunteer Commitment (below)

Statement of Faith

As a Pentecostal church we hold to the traditional beliefs as stated in the Apostle's creed. These Statements of Faith have formed the basis of mainstream Christianity throughout the last 2000 years.

1. The Nature of God

  • We believe that there is one God, eternally existing as three persons, (The Holy Trinity) God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

2. Jesus Christ

  • We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God; we believe in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His victorious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, His constant intercession and in His imminent return.

3. The Holy Spirit

  • We believe in the person and work of the Holy Spirit with His fruits and gifts available in the Church. We believe that He indwells all believers in Christ.

4. The Bible

  • The Bible is the living word of God. It is infallible, authoritative and everlasting and is the foundation of all Christian doctrine.

5. The Devil

  • We believe in the existence of an evil spiritual being known as the devil who is adversarial towards all people and especially believes in Christ. Christians have authority over the devil through the delegated authority of Christ Jesus.

6. Sin

  • We believe in the spiritually lost condition of all people, that we are all born with a sinful nature. We believe in the essential need for the new birth by faith in Jesus Christ and in his atoning work for our sins on the cross.

7.  Baptism In The Holy Spirit

  • We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a gift available to all believers subsequent to the new birth, with normal evidence of speaking in other tongues.

8. The Sacrements

  • We believe in the two sacraments of the Lord’s Supper (communion) and water baptism by full immersion for all believers.

9. The Resurrection

  • We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the first to everlasting life and the latter to everlasting separation from God. This will take place at the final judgement, when Jesus returns.

10. The Church

  • We believe in the worldwide church being the body of Christ. We also believe in the local church and that each believer is called to be an active part of it, fulfilling the Great Commission.
