workers for the Great Commission.

The basis of a staff member's religious employment and mobilization with Reliant starts in partnership with a missional church or Gospel-centered ministry. That partner organization has reviewed Reliant's Statement of Faith and affirmed the Reliant Memo of Understanding. 

...

  • Employment with Reliant is "at will." The Field Manual is not a contract of employment and is not intended to create contractual obligations of any kind. Employment will be on an "at-will" basis unless a specific, written employment contract provides otherwise. Either Reliant or the employee may terminate employment at any time, with or without notice or cause, and for any or no reason. In order to retain necessary flexibility in the administration of policies and procedures, Reliant reserves the right to change, revise or eliminate any of the policies and/or benefits described in this Field Manual at its sole discretion and at any time. 

  • Reliant provides a Equal Employment Policy for its staff.

  • Staff members are employed by Reliant and not the partner organization. 
  • Staff members will receive W-2 tax forms as full employees of Reliant and not 1099s (which are only used for independent contractors).
  • As ministers of the gospel, staff roles are religious and ministerial in nature to support preaching the gospel, evangelism, teaching, and discipling followers of Christ.
