Thank you for being interested in serving in the Preschool, Kids & Student Ministries at Stevens Street Baptist Church! We believe these ministies are vital to the health of our church and crucial in sharing the Gospel with the next generation. It is very important to provide a safe ministry environment for all of the children, students, and volunteer leaders involved in these ministries. Below is a detailed process of how new leaders are added to the team.
Step #1: Interview
Your ministry leader will set up a brief meeting or phone call to discuss some basic details, get to know you, and answer any questions that you may have.
Step #2: Background Check
You will receive an email to a Background Check form from “Ministry Safe.” This is the organization we use to submit and process Background Check information.
Step #3: Online Child Protection Training
After your Background Check has been approved, you will receive a second email from “Ministry Safe” to access an online Child Protection Training. This video based training and short assessment will take approximately 60 minutes to complete. You will receive a certificate at completion stating you finished the training.
Step #4: Shepherding Well Document
We have created a document — Shepherding Well: Safety Guidelines for Preschool, Kids & Student Ministies — to help provide clarity for all volunteer leaders in the Preschool, Kids & Student Ministries. We ask that all leaders read this information in its entirety.
Step# 5: Volunteer Leader Form
The final step in this process is to complete a short form stating that you have completed all of the previous steps and you are prepared to serve in one of these ministries. Please select the appropriate button below:
Again, thank you for taking the time to complete all of these important steps. Your involvement as a volunteer leader is key to reaching the next generation for Christ! If at any point you need assistance or have any questions, please contact your ministry leader.
