Expectations and Covenant

Expectations

We are so excited that you are choosing to use your gifts to serve in Children's Ministry and especially at VBS! In order to provide a safe and fun environment at VBS it is important that all volunteers arrive on time and stay with their kids until they are all dismissed during VBS week. Kids start arriving at 8:45, so you need to be at the church no later than 8:30 (We will have a team meeting at 8:30 every morning). Kids are dismissed at noon and you are free to go when all of your kids have been picked up. We understand that things come up so please communicate with the VBS Directors if you are going to be late or need to leave early.

I have read and understand the above expectations (please enter name if you agree)

Covenant

The information on this application is correct to the best of my knowledge. By signing this agreement, I am committing to partnering with Countryside Kids Ministries for evangelism and the spiritual development of children. I will not teach or instruct children in ways contrary to Countryside Covenant Church's beliefs/affirmations. I agree to support the purpose, mission, and vision of Countryside Covenant Church as a volunteer.

I have read and understand the above covenant (please enter name if you agree)

Date

Your application will be submitted to Amy Brunk, Director of Children's Ministires. Once reviewed you will be contacted about scheduling an interview. We do complete background checks on all adults who work directly with children at Countryside. At the time of the interview you will need to provide your social security number to complete the background check.
