Train
Up A Gentleman Golden Rules
Hebrews
13:17 - Obey
your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your
souls, as men who will have to give account. Let them do this joyfully,
and not sadly, for that would be of no advantage to you.
In
order to insure a respectful and spirit-filled, as well as safe, Train
Up a Gentleman Workshop, we abide by the following guidelines:
- Each
gentleman must be signed in before workshop by the child’s parent,
guardian, or adult who has permission to do so.
|
- Gentleman
may not leave during the workshop without permission of an adult leader.
|
- Gentlemen
should respect one another and adult leaders by being obedient and
courteous at all times.
|
- Gentlemen
should respect the meeting area, sanctuary, all facilities and all
equipment by not running or playing in the building.
|
- Gentlemen
should not eat in the workshop area, unless specifically given
permission to do so by an adult leader, and should never chew gum or eat
during workshop.
|
- Gentlemen
should avoid name-calling or other disrespectful language.
|
- Gentlemen
should clean their area before leaving the workshop.
|
- Gentlemen
should not talk out of turn during worship.
|
| Failure
to obey the above guidelines will result in a request to not attend any
future workshops.

Life
Application
As
a member of this program, all males are asked to exemplify the life of a
true gentleman.
"One
generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy
mighty acts" (Psalm 145:4 KJV).
From
these, and many other scriptures, we can see clearly that each
generation is called to build on the foundation left by the previous
generation. Therefore, all generations are in great need of each other
to complete the work that God has called His corporate Body to fulfill.
