HANDBOOK


We do that by being with Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and doing what Jesus did.
A key part of this mission is helping people discover their God-given gifts and empowering them to use those gifts on the Dream Team to serve with purpose and advance the Kingdom of God.
The Dream Team consists of remarkable individuals who have identified their unique gifts and passions and are actively using in service. Whether it’s creating a welcoming atmosphere as part of our Cafe, Greeter, Parking, or Host Teams, leading the next generation toward Jesus through Chapelhill Kids or Chapelhill Youth, supporting others in their spiritual journey through prayer, providing transportation to foster God-centered community, or enhancing the worship experience with the Production and Worship Teams, we work as one family. Together, we continually advance the Kingdom of God with dedication and purpose.
Take the next step in joining the Dream Team by signing up for Growth Track. Growth Track is a class designed to help you connect to the life of our church from learning more about the culture and values of Chapelhill to discovering and fulfilling your God-given purpose. Growth Track takes place at the end of each month on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. To register, visit www.chapelhill.cc/ nextsteps.
Check in at Dream Team Central
When you are serving, make it your first stop in Dream Team Central to check in, grab your lanyard, and connect with other team members.
Please note: Dream Team Central also serves as our Prayer Room.
Dream Teamers are encouraged to join our huddle at 8:45 a.m. (15 minutes before service). This 10-minute huddle sets the tone for our day and is a great opportunity for encouragement and and aligning our heart with the vision of Chapelhill church. The huddle is held in Dream Team Central.
All Church Prayer is a time when we gather in Dream Team Central to align our hearts with the mission of Chapelhill Church. It's a powerful moment of unity, worship, and intercession as we seek God together and prepare to serve with purpose and passion.
To ensure every service runs smoothly, we ask all Dream Teamers to confirm their scheduling requests in Planning Center as soon as possible. Your prompt response helps us plan effectively and provide the best experience for all people.
We who have the privilege of serving at Chapelhill Church also have the responsibility of setting the example in leadership, which includes our dress. Since we are observed more closely than others are, we set a standard of excellence in personal appearance. Dream Team’s appearance reflects not only the individual but also our church. Dream Teamers should dress as to achieve a positive image when representing both Chapelhill and the Lord. Our dress standard is more polished than casual wear, and gives a clean, casual, and trendy appearance.

We desire to maintain a profound respect for the role of leadership and have created this Honor Code to enable us all to preserve the standard in which God has called us to as followers of Him.
As servant leaders at Chapelhill Church, we are called to cultivate and demonstrate mature Christian behavior. This should form the foundation of your desire to serve in a leadership role here. In our service to the Body of Christ and the community, we must aim to uphold Biblical standards in every situation. Our conduct as Christians is crucial, as it profoundly influences how others perceive Christ.
Exemplifying the highest moral commitment, leaders at Chapelhill Church are to maintain a disciplined life of personal devotion in reading God’s Word, prayer, fasting, and faithful attendance in weekend services. You must also refrain from such things as:
• Drunkeness (Ephesians 5:18)
• Dishonest gain (Proverbs 28:20, Proverbs 11:1, Proverbs 13:11)
• Illegal Drugs (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
• Posting to social media things that would reflect negatively on the church, on others, and/or on you as a leader (1 Thessalonians 5:22)
• Pornography (Colossians 3:5, Ephesians 5:3, 1 John 2:16)
• Sexual Immorality (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, 1 Corinthians 6:18)
• All behaviors which might cause Christ to grieve, and others to stumble (1 Corinthians 8:13)
If certain principles are dishonored, it is crucial to engage in a discussion regarding the necessary steps for progressing in leadership. The goal isn’t shame. The goal is grace. The end goal isn’t removal. The end goal is restoration.
The weight and responsibility that leadership holds within our community makes the moral commitment of each leader so vital within the Chapelhill Church family. We should regard it as an essential part of our development, not as an imposition or restriction. By example, we lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
I understand that Chapelhill is a safe place for children and vulnerable adults and that Chapelhill complies with all Federal and State laws regarding reporting suspected child abuse.
As a Dream Team member, I understand that suspected abuse is to be reported to the staff director or pastor who oversees the area in which I serve. I also understand the four types of abuse defined below:
• Physical: A physical act directed at a child or vulnerable adult that causes injury.
• Sexual: Contact or interactions between a child and an adult, or another child, when the child is being used for sexual stimulation of the perpetrator or another person. This includes exploitation through photographs, videos, or other communication methods.
• Emotional: Acts or omissions by the parent or other caregivers that have caused, or could cause, serious behavioral, cognitive, emotional, or mental disorders.
• Neglect: Failure to provide for the child or vulnerable adult’s basic needs. This includes adequate adult supervision, medical attention, housing, food, and clothing. Most cases of physical neglect involve adult supervision that has caused harm to the child or vulnerable adult, or places them in danger of such harm.
I understand it is not my responsibility to investigate and in no instance will I confront a parent or care giver if abuse is suspected. As a Dream Team member, I agree to comply with this policy and report any suspected abuse to the staff person who oversees the area in which I serve.
