Code of Conduct

Our heart behind the Impact code of conduct is to provide an environment where all students and leaders are supported, safe, and respected. We believe each person is accountable for their actions and that one way we can demonstrate love for each other is by respecting these guidelines.

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is - his good, pleasing, and perfect will.” — Romans 12:1-2
