Reliant values a diverse workforce with all the unique qualities that individuals of various backgrounds and experiences can offer in ministry. Reliant is committed to providing employees with the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential and to base basing employment-related decisions upon valid job/ministry-related factors including the employee's or applicant's demonstrated ability, experience, potential, and commitment to the specific ministry of Reliant. Reliant complies with applicable laws and regulations related to nondiscrimination will not discriminate in employment decisions based on race, color, gender, age, national origin, marital status, veteran status, or disability. This applies to recruitment, hiring, training, selection, promotion, and all other actions and conditions of employment such as compensation, benefits, termination, and disciplinary measures. As a church-based missions agency, Reliant does hold that all of the missionaries we hire are Christians. Reliant missionaries must be therefore in agreement with the Reliant Statement of Faith. All Reliant missionaries must also hold to the Standards of Conduct as listed in the Field Manual including the Reliant Code of Ethics. As a ministry which partners broadly in the Christian community, we also recognize that the individual churches and ministries we partner with will have different theological viewpoints on leadership. Reliant does leave decisions about women in church leadership positions up to the discretion of the local church. However, Reliant also provides equivalent categories for equal compensation within those churches. (See Missionary Staff Levels for more information.) |
