Code of Conduct
We expect all members of our Renovus community, especially Renovus leaders and volunteers, to conduct a lifestyle and make choices that employ wisdom, and discernment and always prioritize the well-being of themselves, members, group dynamics, and overall health and safety.
Culture of Dignity/Respect/Allyship: Always seek to dignify the humanity of others in all situations at all times, inside and outside of Renovus spaces. Harassment, micro-aggression, insinuations, intimidation, threats, and/or violence are hurtful and interfere with the experience and participation of others in Renovus.
Refrain from comments, jokes, and expressions that disrespect, denigrate, or dismiss someone based on their race, sex, gender, sexual/romantic orientation, or any other facet of their identity.
Demonstrate love, respect, and allyship to others and to yourself (Matthew 22:39 - “Love your neighbor as yourself”).
Respect the diversity of thought, perspective, politics, and faith traditions of members within the community.
We encourage anyone who has been disrespected or hears/learns of disrespectful behavior to raise this with the person causing that disrespect and/or Renovus leadership in the spirit of showing grace and helping every member of our Renovus community to learn and grow from their mistakes.
Culture of Consent: Consent is a freely given agreement or permission between two or more parties in how they interact with one another. In order to create a culture where all feel safe engaging in our community and have their humanity and bodily autonomy respected, we expect all members to respect each other’s consent.
Consent applies – but is not limited to – all sexual interactions, romantic advances, physical contact, conversive interactions (i.e., comments, language, conversations), and virtual activity.
Consent means that “no” is a complete sentence.
Consent can be revoked at any time, even after a “yes.”
Consent means dignifying the humanity of others and respecting the desires, wishes, and words of another person in perpetuity.
Substance Use/Alcohol: We expect everyone to be fully present at events, home groups, and any other Renovus-related gathering. This means one should restrict, limit, and/or moderate their alcohol and substance use in these contexts appropriately, being mindful of those who may struggle with those substances.
