Kids Volunteer Application

Date

THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS ARE ASKED IN ORDER TO INSURE A SAFE AND PROTECTED ENVIRONMENT FOR THE CHILDREN WHO COME TO OUR CHURCH. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THESE ARE ASKED OF EVERY VOLUNTEER

CRIMINAL HISTORY AUTHORIZATION

By my signature below, I hereby authorize Oregon State Police to release any information, which pertains to any record of conviction, in its files or in any criminal file maintained on me whether local, state or national.  I hereby release OSP and Ekklesia from any liability resulting from such a disclosure.

I understand that I may obtain a copy of the Criminal History Report and will be given the opportunity to challenge the accuracy and completeness of this report and obtain a prompt determination as to the validity of the challenge before a final determination is made by Ekklesia. (Type your name in place of a signature.)

References

Please list 3 references outside of your family who know you well and would recommend you for ministry with children (at least one reference must attend Ekklesia who is not a Pastor).

REFERENCE WAIVER AND INTERVIEW AGREEMENT

By my signature I certify that all of the information is true to the best of my knowledge and I waive the right to inspect references and the right to hold the church liable for damages that may result from such evaluations.  I also understand that I cannot serve anywhere in the Ekklesia Kids without approval of the Ekklesia Pastors and Elders and that this approval will require a background check with the State of Oregon.
