Security Information

In order to provide a safer environment for our children, it is important to include the following questions as part of our application process.

We recognize that these issues are sensitive and all discussion is kept confidential within the ministry leadership team. If you would prefer to discuss these issues in person, please let us know.

Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offense for which a pardon has not been granted? This does not include minor traffic violations.

Have you ever been investigated for, or accused of, assault or violence, harassment or other immoral or illegal behaviour or conduct involving children, youth or vulnerable persons?

Are there any circumstances in your life or your background that could call into question your ability to safely work with children in a Christian environment?
