I believe that God is calling me to join the Community at Lee Abbey Devon as a Volunteer Worker.
I affirm my personal faith in Christ and my desire through prayer, study and service to seek a deep and mature faith.
I understand by this that my mind, my time, my talents, my possessions and all my relationships are to be increasingly surrendered to Christ as Lord.
I promise, if my application is accepted, to be loyal to the Community in its aims, its work, its standards of behaviour, and its disciplines. To work towards cherishing, protecting God’s creation. Willing to be part of the welcome that Community gives to those who come to Lee Abbey.
I understand that while at Lee Abbey Devon I will be expected to live according to the values of love, faith, discipleship, hospitality, fun, thankfulness, generosity, honesty, respect and forgiveness.
I understand that Lee Abbey Devon holds a policy of responsible Christian living and prohibits illegal drugs, pornography, sexual relationships outside of marriage and irresponsible consumption of alcohol.
I will participate fully in the life and worship of the Community, including attending daily prayers, the weekly Communion service and all Community meetings and training sessions.
I will willingly submit to the authority of my Team Leader, and will seek to serve God and others to the best of my ability.
I will endeavour to stay at Lee Abbey Devon for the full period for which I have committed myself.
Because Community Membership at Lee Abbey Devon is a full-time commitment, I understand that that I will not be able to take up other employment while I am a Community member.
I will not hold Lee Abbey Devon responsible for my personal property or the costs of any medical treatment while I am in the UK. I understand that I will need to take out appropriate insurance cover.
I understand what is expected of me and I will do my best to live up to these expectations. I understand that failure to meet these expectations may result in me being asked to leave Lee Abbey Devon.
