Safe Church

Safe Church training is mandatory for all volunteers working with children. If you have not yet completed Safe Church training the next session will be offered on May 29th at 6:30pm at the Barrie Campus. There is no cost to attend. Please register HERE. The following questions are related to our safe church screening process, and do not necessarily disqualify you from serving. If you would prefer to discuss these questions in person, please indicate that here. Your answers are confidential and will only be shared within the Children's or Youth ministry leadership team.

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? This includes use of alcohol, drugs, vaping, pornography and any illegal substance.

Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offence 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?

I certify that the information contained in this application is complete and correct to the best of my knowledge. I understand that if my character or morals should be deemed inappropriate at any time during my volunteer service, Emmanuel will be entitled to immediately suspend my assistance. I will immediately inform a pastor or staff person at Emmanuel if any allegation of a criminal offence (including abuse, violence, alcohol or drugs) is made against me. I authorize the individuals and organizations listed to provide any information requested pertaining to my character and fitness to participate in a ministry at Emmanuel. I release forever all references from liability from any damage that may result from furnishing such evaluations. As an approved volunteer, I agree to be accountable to the leadership and policies of Emmanuel, and to refrain from unscriptural conduct in the performance of my duties. I subscribe to the Statement of Faith and agree to follow the Safe Church Policy. If I am over 18 years of age, I release Emmanuel from any medical liability and give permission to be photographed/videographed.
