1. PROGRAM PARTICIPATION
*
We require that all participants and staff attend a local church weekly.
We require full participation in classes, class work, work duties, worship, intercession times, and outreaches. Emergency leaves of absence need to be approved by staff.
We value our weekly house meetings. If you have an emergency, please contact your Resident Assistant or staff at least one hour before the meeting time and let them know what’s going on. The only other reasons to miss a house meeting are work, school responsibilities, vacation, or family event. Please bring up your legitimate reason at the house meeting prior to your absence.
If you choose not to partake in church, classes, or house meetings, the house will defer to Consequences and Fines as defined in the “Consequences and Fines” section.
Part of ongoing progress in this program is the required daily check-in meetings with fellow disciples, such as with a Discipleship Partner, pastor, staff, and/or Resident Assistant. We hope that there is mutual trust between staff and participants in this area.
What happens in the house meetings stays in the house meetings. Absolutely no gossiping!
2. FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS
*
We expect you to uphold your financial commitments. A $15 late fee applies if monthly program fees are not paid in full by the 5th of each month or there is failure to meet payment arrangements. It’s your responsibility to communicate if you cannot do so by that time.
If your move-in date is on or before the 5th of the month, the full amount will be due. If your move-in date is after the 5th the fees will be prorated. If fees have not been paid in full by the 10th, you must vacate the premises. Arrangements may be made with staff for a possible extension.
3. CONDUCT
*
The use of drugs and alcohol is prohibited during The Summit Discipleship Program. If you struggle with tobacco use, we will encourage you to try quitting during the program at a time that seems best to us and to you. Smoking is not permitted inside and must be done in the designated areas of each Summit House. Strictly no smoking in the front or back of the house.
Because we want you to view this program as a time set apart for you and the Lord, we require all male/female relationships remain at a friendship level during the program unless you are married. Participants are not permitted to share living arrangements with the opposite sex or engage in sexual activity of any kind. We maintain the scriptural teaching that acts of homosexuality are sin. Please feel free to ask us any questions about these rules, and above all, stay transparent about these things.
Conflict will inevitably arise in close-quarters communal living. We ask that you use the conflict resolution model in Matthew 5:23-25; 18:15-17 to avoid negative feelings built up against one another and that you seek the counsel of your Resident Assistant or staff to avoid further escalation.
Internet and Entertainment can be a healthy escape when done in moderation and a useful tool for productivity and maintaining communication. These tools can however become detrimental. As such, the Resident Assistant and staff reserve the right to enact guidelines and policies to limit and restrict certain media content and time consumption during the participant’s stay including but not limited to: 1. A pornography filter/monitoring app remains installed on smartphones and laptop, desktop, or tablet computers for the entirety of the program. 2. No use of technology permitted during classes and house meetings.
No weapons, ammunition, explosives, knives (other than kitchen knives) are allowed on property, stored, or concealed on your person.
Money is not to be exchanged between residents unless authorized by staff. This applies to selling personal items to fellow residents, personal loans, etc.
Lost keys are subject to a $15 fine.

4. DRUG & UA POLICY
*
This is a narcotic and benzodiazepine free house.
