Safe church leaders understand that their role is to serve others, not to seek personal gain or authority, and they embrace Apostle Paul’s teaching: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves” (Philippians 2:3).

The Apostle Paul’s teachings in 1 Corinthians and Romans provide guidelines for the operation of spiritual gifts within the church. Safe leaders encourage the gifts to be used in an orderly, edifying way, recognizing that these gifts are expressions of God’s love. However, unsafe churches may restrict, dismiss, or misuse spiritual gifts. Safe churches encourage believers to use their gifts to serve and bless others, fostering spiritual growth and unity.

In many church environments, especially those with a strong institutional focus, time boundaries are sometimes disregarded. Leaders may expect members to continually devote their personal time, evenings, weekends, and even family time to church programs, activities, or events. This expectation is often framed as “sacrificial living” or a demonstration of “full commitment” to God, where members are subtly or overtly pressured to show their dedication by prioritizing church obligations over personal well-being. While commitment and dedication are essential aspects of spiritual growth, they should not come at the cost of a person’s health, relationships, or overall well-being.
