I have completed a volunteer background check/screening in my home church in the last 5 years.

Yes, I (or my home church) can provide a copy of my background check. No, but I am willing to complete this year.

Please read carefully:

Statement of Covenant: As a Christian community of faith, our ecumenical Vacation Bible School pledges to conduct this ministry of the Gospel in ways that assure the safety and spiritual growth of all our children and youth, as well as the volunteers who work with them. We ask all of our volunteers and staff to join in our committment of preserving our churches as Holy places of safety and protection. Please read the following covenant statements regarding your work with our VBS children and youth. Read carefully and check "yes" or "no" to each statement.

I have admitted to, been charged with, or convicted of child abuse or neglect, sexual abuse, assault, or other acts of violence against another human being.

Yes No

I will serve the children/youth of VBS in a safe and nurturing manner.

Yes No

I agree to observe the Two Person Rule at all times. This means that at least two volunteers, one of whom shall be an adult, will be with any child at all times.

Yes No

I will wear my VBS t-shirt and nametag every day.This is important for easy identification that you are a part of our VBS ministry

Yes No

I will immediately discuss any abusive or inappropriate behavior with someone from the Leadership Team AND a Pastor. Do not share sensitive information or behavior issues with your peers. It only amplifies the problem and makes the children involved feel unsafe.
