Confidentiality: In a church office and ministry all things are to be held in confidence. You may only speak with the Pastor about those things that arise in the office. When interacting with the congregation we will have zero tolerance of any breach of confidentiality. Leaders and staff are to avoid triangulation and always focus issues back to the person with whom they are concerned.
