Code of Ethics

The International Lutheran Laymen's League (Int'l LLL) Board of Governors adopts this Code of Ethics on behalf of the members and donors of the Int'l LLL to guide the conduct of the league's Board of Governors, employees, and volunteer leaders.

In our various capacities as volunteers, employees, or elected leaders, we work together to serve our Lord in Bringing Christ to the Nations—and the Nations to the Church.

These roles demand a high standard of integrity, trust, and stewardship. The Board of Governors, employees, and volunteer leaders will strive to be aware of the consequences of their actions.

Our service must reflect compliance with the law and the highest standards of professional knowledge, conduct, care, and respect for each individual served.

There will be times when the choice of conduct is not clear. When faced by an unclear choice, ask yourself this question: "If my actions were to be published, would league supporters agree that the best interests of all were served?" If the choice is still not clear, ask for guidance from your supervisor, other league officers, or pastoral advisors.

Responsibilities shall be conducted in a manner consistent with Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions. (For those employees not familiar with the Lutheran Confessions, Scripture should be used to interpret the expected conduct.)
