Overbrook Presbyterian Church Code of Conduct

The Personnel Committee of Session has established the following Code of Conduct to assure courtesy, caring, confidentiality and civil discourse at all times in the work of the church. Like many other organizations, we wanted to be explicit about behavior we expect, and would like to take for granted. Please take a minute to review it.

Overbrook Presbyterian Church Code of Conduct

This Code of Conduct established by the Overbrook Presbyterian Church (OPC) is a guide for those who serve the church as volunteers as well as those employed by the church, all of whom represent the church to each other, and to visitors. OPC aims to establish an environment that promotes productivity through caring, cooperation, and collaboration in the work of the church. To promote this environment:

  • Greet visitors and co-workers in a warm and courteous manner.
  • Be respectful and appreciate individual differences. Work to understand others, regardless of gender, race, national origin, socioeconomic status, political beliefs, marital status or sexual orientation.
  • Respect confidentiality. Do not seek information you do not need to know. Likewise, share sensitive information only with those who need to know. (Do not gossip.)
  • Use office supplies, equipment and other church resources wisely.
  • Seek help from the pastor or appropriate committee chair if problems, questions or disagreement arises about the work being done that cannot be easily resolved among office staff.
  • Be respectful in word and deed. Refrain from use of profanity.
  • Refrain from any form of harassment (verbal, physical, sexual, visual or psychological) toward another person, and report any such behavior toward you to your supervisor.
  • Portray a positive role model for everyone, particularly young people.
