Volunteer Forms
As Seventh-day Adventists, we are strongly committed to our churches being safe havens for connection, growth, worship and service for all men, women and children.
Safeguarding Children In Matthew 18:6 Christ spoke strongly about those who would intentionally hurt children: "But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." The local church should take reasonable steps to safeguard children engaged in church-sponsored activities by choosing individuals with high spiritual and moral backgrounds as leaders and participants in programs for children. (Taken from the Seventh-day Adventist Church Manual, p. 120)
For this reason, we request every volunteer working with our children in Sabbath School, Vacation Bible School (VBS), Pathfinders, Adventurers, Eager Beavers, prayer partner programs, etc. to complete a Volunteer Service Information Form. Each year after that a member volunteers, they will complete the Update Form. We process and keep these forms at Upper Columbia Conference.
If you have questions regarding Volunteer screening, please contact Cheryl Tobin - (509) 838-2761 or CherylT@uccsda.org.
If you work with children, please print, complete and mail the Volunteer Service Information form to Children's Ministries Volunteer Service. If you have previously worked with children and think you should be already in our system, please contact Cheryl Tobin (509) 838-2761 or CherylT@uccsda.org.
