Honor One Another
“...take delight in honoring each other.” Romans 12:10b

We ask Guests and Hosts alike to honor one another. The ways in which one honors another may be different based upon many variables. Some tangible expressions to demonstrate this are through respect, kindness, courtesy, and honoring one another’s perspectives and each person’s story of faith. ServantCARE is an interdenominational evangelical Christian ministry. While all hosts and guests agree on the essentials of our faith, there may be some differences in theology, background, cultures, perspectives, and upbringing.

Be Honest & Courteous with One Another
“Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.” “Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt...” Ephesians 4:25  & Colossians 4:6a 

We are members of the Body of Christ. Be honest, courteous, and up front in your communication with one another. Some examples are:

For Hosts: particularly regarding any house rules, expectations, food and kitchen use, quiet times, or any additional expectations, or limitations within the home or on the property. It’s okay to have house rules and to share those up front with guests.

For Guests: particularly regarding arrival and departure times, daily schedules that impact the host's schedule, and any additional expectations, or unexpected changes.

We ask Hosts and Guests to be honest and transparent during interactions and conversations with one another and with ServantCARE staff. Once bookings are confirmed, guests and hosts are encouraged to communicate directly with one another. Should there be issues that arise that cannot be resolved directly between guests and hosts, you can reach out to ServantCARE by emailing [email protected]

Care for One Another
“That there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.”  1 Corinthians 12:25

We ask Hosts to ensure the home is smoke-free, clean, comfortable & maintained for guests. We ask Hosts to have the home prepared in a way that guests feel cared for and to treat guests’ property with care. We ask Guests to care for the Hosts’ home; in behavior during the stay, in the treatment of the home and contents therein, and in keeping the household expectations laid forth by the hosts.

Love One Another
“Love each other with genuine affection…” Romans 12:10b

Because God has first loved us, we can love Him and love one another. We understand that challenges or difficulties may arise before, during, or after one’s stay. Our heart is to navigate each one with love, grace, and truth. If you are a host, we are grateful for your generosity to host and share your space to bless those who serve. If you are a guest, we hope you will be blessed and feel CARED for through this ministry!
