Reliant has numerous employees doing ministry on college campuses. Reliant also believes in the command of scripture to honor one's father and mother. Reliant employees should uphold this command by promoting healthy parent/child relationships and encouraging parental involvement and support of the ministry. This will involve, for example, directing students to obtain input from their parents regarding involvement in the ministry and decisions about ministry-sponsored conferences or trips. It will also involve notifying the parents of a student who is demonstrating signs of potentially harmful behavior.

Many Reliant employees minister on college campuses. Reliant believes in the command of scripture to “honor one's father and mother.” Reliant employees should uphold this command by, as much as possible, promoting healthy parent/child relationships amongst the students they are working with and encouraging parental involvement and support of the ministry. We recognize that many students have strained, broken, or even non-existent relationships with their parents, but as much as we are able, we want to encourage students to honor that relationship with wisdom.

As an example, it is generally good to direct students to obtain input from their parents regarding involvement in the ministry and decisions about ministry-sponsored conferences or trips. This also could include notifying the parents of a student who is demonstrating signs of potentially harmful behavior.
