10 Commitment of Volunteers
*from Hillsong blog
1) Commitment to learning.
“How can I do this better?”
When I’m actively looking for opportunities to learn and grow in every situation, constructive criticism doesn’t come as an attack on me as a person but an answer to the question I’ve been asking all along.
2) Commitment to serving.
“How can I help you?”
No matter what we find in our hands to do, whether worship leading, operating a camera, changing microphone batteries, or anything in between, our first question to each other and to our church should be 'how can I help you?’. I’m here to help you, not the other way around.
3) Commitment to excellence.
“Is this my best?”
Excellence isn’t perfection, but it is my best, and my best means always getting better.
4) Commitment to humility.
“How can I demonstrate your value?”
Philippians chapter 2 highlights this so well. It’s a ceaseless mission to place value on the people around me.
5) Commitment to devotion.
“What fruit am I producing?”
Am I exhibiting the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22) in my life more now than I was last year? If so, I’m devoted to the right thing.
6) Commitment to ownership.
“If this was ‘my problem’ what would I do differently?”
We bring solutions, not just problems. We fix things that are broken. We actively look for needs and gaps and we fill them.
7) Commitment to others.
“Who else can I include?”
I don’t hold tightly to “my thing” but actively look for ways to include others on the journey. This is our mandate. We are one body, each with a part to play (1 Corinthians 12).
8) Commitment to unity.
“Am I an island?”
Musicians, artists, lighting operators, singers, designers, photographers, dancers, audio engineers, film producers, stage managers, producers, and writers. We are all part of the team and we are better together!
9) Commitment to fun.
“Do I take myself too seriously?”
No explanation needed. Don’t forget to laugh!
10) Commitment to the cause.
“If I was the only one, would I still be here?”
Family, friends, fun, and a team to be a part of are all great reasons to serve each weekend. But deep down inside I know that, if I was the only one here, I would still turn up. Why? Because I believe in the cause of Christ. I believe in building what Jesus said He would build - His Church (Matthew 16:18).
None of us get these things right all of the time. But they're important and Godly commitments for us all to be aiming towards, both personally and collectively!

No String Attached
So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
3. Transactional Relationship only show one thing: Love to self.Transactional relationship is based on an expectation that a favor will be returned in kind. Quid pro quo. I scratch your back and you scratch mine. In this model if I don’t think you are going to reciprocate, either because you can’t or you won’t, then I am not going to do you any favors. This mindset is based on scarcity and fear, and it limits our ability to develop meaningful relationships, let alone our ability to build lasting relationships based on trust. Instead, embrace an abundance mindset. Trust that good deeds are their own reward, and that an accumulation of goodwill in the community will often provide a generous return on the time and energy we invest in others.
