Boundaries For Church leaders | Introduction to Boundaries
Our ministry is guided by the respect we have for our congregants and by their having entrusted us with their spiritual well-being. When we do not respect their separateness or use their vulnerabilities to satisfy our personal needs, we have violated boundaries and betrayed a sacred trust. Healthy boundaries are a gift. They are helpful guidelines that give shape to our relationships.
In ministry situations, boundaries clarify who is the congregant and who is the mentor, not in a hierarchical way, but in a manner that prevents the unhealthy merging of individuals. Boundaries create safe spaces and help to build trust over time. (From Faithtrust Institute)
