Full Participants walk together with other Christ-followers. Full participants seek out Small Groups, Accountability Groups, and/or Spiritual Mentorship and in these relationships live honestly, authentically, and transparently. There is no hiddenness in their life. In these small groups or one-on-one relationships the Full Participant knows, loves, serves, and celebrates others.
Luke 12:2-3, Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 |
Full Participants promote and defend the peace, purity, and unity of Lakeland Community Church and the church around the world. There is no unaddressed or unresolved conflict as far as it is up to them. They neither listen to nor speak gossip. They relinquish individualism and cling to the oneness of the church! The Full Participant submits to the spiritual oversight and discipline of the elders.

Full Participants share their faith with those who are far from God. They share their story and their witness to what God has done in their lives with others. They know that their reputation is Christ’s reputation and the church’s reputation. They cooperate with the Holy Spirit in drawing others to God.
Mark 16:15 |
