Our Sacred Duty (adapted from the U.S. Navy SEAL Code)

My loyalty to God is beyond reproach. I humbly serve as a guardian to my fellow Christians, always ready to defend those who are unable to defend themselves. I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions. I voluntarily accept the inherent hazards of my calling, placing the welfare of others before my own.

I serve with honor on and off the congregation’s property. The ability to control my emotions and my actions, regardless of circumstance, sets me apart from other men. Uncompromising integrity is my standard. My character and honor are steadfast. My word is my bond.

We expect to lead and be led. Where Scripture is silent, I will take charge, lead my fellow believers, and accomplish the mission that our Lord commanded. I lead by example in all situations.

I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on adversity. My Lord expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time, on the account that it is my Lord advancing through me. I am His humble slave. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish the mission. I am never out of the fight because the Lord is and has been in me since my baptism.

We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The eternal lives of others and the success of the mission depend on our total dependence on our Lord and Savior — my technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail are a gift from Him. My training is never complete, I will continue in His Word, always.

We train for war and fight to win. I stand ready to bring the full spectrum of His combat power to bear in order to achieve His mission and the goals established by through His Word. The execution of my duties will be swift and violent when required, yet guided by the very principles I serve to defend.

Brave, broken sinners have fought and died and are with Him enjoying His heavenly banquet. They built the proud tradition and reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of the Church steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed. I will not fail. This I do so intend with the help of God.
