LIFEHOUSE DREAM TEAM AGREEMENT
As an essential part of the Lifehouse Dream Team, you have a responsibility to develop and demonstrate mature Christ-like behavior.
As a follower of Jesus, the way we present ourselves in regard to attire, attitude, and actions, has an important impact on the way others perceive Christ.
I Will Protect the Unity of My Church By:
- Acting in love towards other members.
- Refusing to criticize or gossip.
- Being responsive to leaders and praying for them.
So then, let us aim for harmony in the church and try to build each other up.
Romans 14:19 NLT
Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.
Ephesians 4:29 NLT
Be responsive to your pastoral leaders. Listen to their counsel. They are alert to the condition of your lives and work under the strict supervision of God. Contribute to the joy of their leadership, not its drudgery. Why would you want to make things harder for them? Pray for us. We have no doubt about what we are doing or why, but it’s hard going and we need your prayers.
Hebrews 13:17-18 MSG
I Will Share the Responsibility of My Church By:
- Praying for its growth and health.
- Inviting the unchurched to attend.
- Practicing Generosity.
From Paul, Silas, and Timothy—To the people of the church in Thessalonica, who belong to God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be yours. We always thank God for you all and always mention you in our prayers.
1 Thessalonians 1:1-2 GNT
“Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.’”
Luke 14:23 NIV
“Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God.”
2 Corinthians 9:11 NLT
I Will Support the Testimony of My Church By:
- Attending church faithfully.
- Warmly welcoming those who visit.
- Living a Godly life, which means abstaining from:
-Drug abuse (including excessive alcohol use).
-Gambling.
-Dishonest gain, including taking property belonging to others (e.g. intellectual property / copyright / lacking integrity in the use of Ai).
-Sexually immoral behavior which is in disagreement with our Statement of Faith.
-Sexual harassment.
Let us not give up the habit of meeting together, as some are doing. Instead, let us encourage one another all the more, since you see that the Day of the Lord is coming near.
Hebrews 10:25 GNT
Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. Then, whether I come and see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you are standing together with one spirit and one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the Good News.
Philippians 1:27 NLT
I Will Serve the Ministry of My Church By:
- Discovering my gifts and talents.
- Using my God-given gifts to make a difference in the lives of others.
- Developing my servant heart (not seeking personal or financial gain from the serving role).
Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ.
Ephesians 4:11-12 NLT
Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
Philippians 2:4-5 NLT
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DREAM TEAM AGREEMENT
Growing into maturity is an essential part of our development, not as an imposition or restriction but as a Godly way of life that marks all Dream Teamers. Therefore any breach of the Lifehouse Dream Team Agreement that doesn’t reflect our Lifehouse Statement of Faith and values could impact a Dream Team member's ability to serve.
Any breach of this Agreement involving:
- Providing misleading or false information in the application process, can lead to the applicant being declined or stood down temporarily or otherwise.
- A criminal offense will lead to a report being made to the relevant authorities. The Dream Teamer will be stood down from their role.
- Risk of harm, of an adult, child, or young person will also be reported to the appropriate authorities. This will result in a Dream Teamer being stood down from their role.
ABUSE POLICY
I understand that Lifehouse Church is a safe place for the vulnerable, children, and young adults, and that Lifehouse complies with government laws regarding reporting suspected child abuse. I also understand the four types of abuse as defined below:
Physical abuse: a physical act directed at a child or young adult that causes injury.
Sexual abuse: contact or interaction 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 abuse: includes non-physical behavior that is meant to control, isolate, or frighten. These acts can cause serious behavioral, cognitive, emotional, or mental disorders.
Neglect: failure to provide for the child or vulnerable adult’s basic needs. This includes inadequate adult supervision, medical attention, housing, food, and clothing. In most cases, inadequate adult supervision causes 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 caregiver if abuse is suspected. However, as a member of the Dream Team, I agree to report any suspected abuse to the Dream Team Leader, who oversees the area in which I serve, or to a Pastoral staff.
Please read the Lifehouse Dream Team Agreement and Abuse Policy carefully for your agreement. Please also fill out the About Me questionnaire. Indicate yes or no for each statement.

Motivational Gifts Description
The Prophetic Gift
People with the prophetic gift have an intense desire to see justice applied to all parts of life. They are motivated by a cause and will go to great lengths to help others see the need for action. They need to work on speaking with sensitivity and encouragement rather than with only directives. In the context of the church, this gift is the divine strength and ability to speak with confidence, encouragement, and hope---bring simplicity and clarity to scripture and doctrinal truth—in some cases foretelling God’s plan.
Romans 12:6; Acts 2:37-40, 7:51-53, 26:24-29; 1 Corinthians 14:1-4; 1 Thessalonians 1:5
Areas this gift is great for: All Dream Teams
The Serving Gift
Servers are problem solvers. They are excellent at identifying and completing tasks. People with the gift of serving make things happen and keep things rolling under their watchful eye. Occasionally, they need to work on not losing sight of the bigger picture and the people they are doing things for. In the context of the church, serving is the divine strength or ability to do small or large tasks well, working for the overall good of the body of Christ.
Romans 12:7; Acts 6:1-7; Galatians 6:10; 1 Timothy 1:16-18; Titus 3:14

The Teaching Gift
Teachers are motivated to help people learn and grow by presenting complex truths simply. They are gifted public speakers and motivators. They need to work on appearing less argumentative when they are attempting to get their point across. In the context of the church, this gift is the divine strength or ability to study and learn from the scriptures primarily to bring understanding and growth to other believers.
Romans 8:12; Acts 18:24-28, 20:20-21; 1 Corinthians 12:28; Ephesians 4:11-14
Areas this gift is great for: Bible Connect Group and/or Communities leadership, Alpha, Next Steps, Kids, Production & Operations Team.
The Encouragement Gift
Encouragers have an ability to bring the best out of people. Their greatest desire is to see people improve and succeed. They are often able to bring new hope to people who are discouraged. They are outgoing and have a large network of friends. Encouragers tend to be quick to offer people opportunities, but this needs to be accompanied with practical steps. In the context of the church, this gift is the divine strength or ability to encourage others through the written or spoken word and biblical truth.
Romans 12:8; Acts 14:22; 1 Timothy 4:13; Hebrews 10:24-25
Areas this gift is great for: Hospitality/Welcome Teams, Next Steps, Kids, Connect Group Leadership, Communities leadership—in particular Outreach.
The Giving Gift
Givers are motivated to be generous by creating or giving to organizations or projects that help people in need and projects within the church. Givers can also excel in areas of design and the sciences. For some Givers, the entrepreneurial gift is able to help them set up organizations that can benefit many people. In the context of the church, this gift is the divine strength or ability to produce wealth and give by tithes and offerings for the purpose of advancing the Kingdom of God on earth.
Romans 12:8; Mark 12:41-44; 2 Corinthians 8:1-7, 9:2-7
Areas this gift is great for: All Dream Teams, in particular, Kingdom Builders, Creative Teams, and Production Teams.
The Leadership Gift
Leaders are “big picture” people. They tend to look ahead for possible obstacles. Leaders are structural thinkers and set up systems for others to follow. They are able to motivate people toward common goals. They are assertive, protective, and often need to work on leading without appearing bossy. In the context of the church, this gift is the divine strength and ability to influence people at their level while directing and focusing them on the big picture, vision, or idea.
Romans 12:8; 1 Timothy 3:1-13, 5:17; Hebrews 13:7
Areas this gift is great for: All Dream Teams
The Mercy Gift
People with the gift of mercy are greatly concerned for the emotional, spiritual, and physical needs of others. They have a strong desire and ability to help people who are suffering or distressed. Because people with this gift are so patient and compassionate with those in pain, they will benefit from setting clear boundaries to prevent themselves from burning out. In the context of the church, this gift is the divine strength or ability to feel empathy and care for those who are hurting in any way.
Romans 12:8; Matthew 9:35-36; Mark 9:41; 1 Thessalonians 5:14
Areas this gift is great for: Hospitality Teams, Next Steps, Outreach, Communities—especially teams that serve the community.
