Our mission at CRICS is to “serve the servant by providing quality, innovative, family-oriented English Christian Education.” In order to fulfill our mission, all expatriates accepted for service with CRICS must be professing Christians and are expected to be Christian role-models, maintaining a lifestyle based on Biblical standards of conduct. 

We cannot fully define all Biblical standards of conduct here, but Romans 12:9-21 gives some clarity about the things we expect to see exhibited and developing in those who are expatriate servants at CRICS. We expect that a Christian role model hates evil and clings to what is good, regards each person with love and respect, is diligent and enthusiastic in service to the Lord, rejoices in hope, is patient in affliction, prays steadfastly, shares with those in need, attempts to live in peace and harmony with everyone, does what is right and honorable, avoids pride and revenge, and is not overcome by evil but overcomes evil with good. 

A lifestyle not aligned with Biblical standards of conduct is grounds for dismissal because it violates the occupational qualification for volunteers to be Christian role models and hinders CRICS from fulfilling its mission. Again, we cannot define every instance of sin or misconduct ahead of time, but we reserve the right to make institutional decisions (including hiring, placement, and retention) based on lifestyle decisions and behaviors that may be dishonoring to God or our community or may hinder our mission as a Christian school.
