ESSENTIAL PREREQUISITES FOR ALL STAFF MEMBERS
Because World Impact is a Christian missions organization with a written doctrinal statement, World Impact reserves the right to employ only people who are born-again believers in the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, and who are in full accord with our ministry’s doctrinal statement. Service is at the will of either the staff member or missionary, or World Impact. This means that the staff member or missionary may quit at any time with or without notice and World Impact may terminate the service agreement at any time with or without notice. There is no promise that service will continue for a set period of time. Nor is there a promise that service will be terminated only under particular circumstances. No one has the authority to make representations inconsistent with this policy. This policy supersedes all written and oral representations that are in any way inconsistent with it. World Impact, Inc. retains the discretionary right to terminate any staff member, including missionaries, at any time and for any reason deemed to be in the best interests of the ministry. These policies do not constitute a contract, expressed or implied, to continued employment, and said policies do not alter the status of any at-will service member under the laws of the state.
