CODE OF ETHICS FOR CHURCH COORDINATORS
- LTC is for the growth and spiritual development of our youth. The LTC preparation must be the participant's own work.
Guidance, resources, and encouragement must be provided so those participants can develop their own ideas.
- Coordinators must place their emphasis on participation and effort rather than on competition and winning. Lesser
value comes from winning; maximum value comes from hard work and best efforts.
- Coordinators should make certain that all adults and youth understand and comply with the rules of participation in LTC
events.
- Coordinators that see the need for improvement should seek to bring this about in a positive way, remembering that our
young people learn how to handle conflict and difficulty from our example.
- Church Coordinators must emphasize servant leadership. It is not enough to teach public communication skills, but
additionally, we must model and teach leadership through servanthood.
- Church Coordinators should encourage the youth to be integrated into the overall involvement of the church. Our
youth need responsibilities now that give them important roles and allow them to contribute to the church.
- Church Coordinators need to communicate these ideas to all parents, church leaders, and youth.
CONVENTION ETIQUETTE GUIDELINESAll Church Coordinators are responsible for ensuring that these
guidelines are reviewed with each member of their group and that each person fully understands what is expected.
- It is expected that all convention participants will be on their best behavior. Remember that we are guests in the
hotel.
- Always be aware of your noise level in the hallways, foyers, and rooms.
- Always walk in the corridors and other public places.
- Do not run or play on the escalators.
- Allow others plenty of access to public facilities by properly using elevators and corridors.
- Take special care to protect hotel and LTC property.
- Stay on the hotel property unless accompanied by an adult sponsor.
- Remember there is a general curfew for all convention participants at 11:00 p.m., both Friday and Saturday night.
Heart of America LTC convention security staff will strictly enforce this. All Children must be in their rooms after
curfew unless accompanied by their adult sponsor.
- The name tag you receive at registration serves as your credentials for the convention. It must be worn at all times,
even when you are not actively involved in an event.
- It is recommended that participants locate the rooms in which they will participate at least 30 minutes prior to the starting
time of each event.
- Stay in the event room during an individual or group presentation. Each event area will have specific rules about entering
and exiting the room.
- A participant may ask the judges to clear the room, in any non-team event, if the participant would prefer to perform
without an audience.
- Please respect elderly and handicapped persons regarding access to the elevators. The elevators are always crowded
during the convention, so be patient and allow at least 20 minutes getting from your room to your event. If you are
physically able to wait for an elevator, please let others that are less able go first.
REMEMBER THAT PEOPLE'S IMPRESSIONS OF CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH ARE DIRECTLY
AFFECTED BY YOUR BEHAVIOR. CREATE A POSITIVE REFLECTION OF YOUR CONGREGATION, YOUR FAMILY, AND
CHRIST BY MAINTAINING HIGH STANDARDS OF CONDUCT.
