The information contained in this application is correct to the best of my knowledge. I authorize any references, churches or other organizations listed in this application to give you any information they may have regarding my character and fitness for working with children, and I release all such references from liability for any damage that may result for furnishing such evaluations to Heritage Christian Fellowship. I understand that my personal information will be treated as confidential.

I have read and agree to the above. *

Having committed to serving in the Children’s/Youth Ministries and the habits essential for spiritual maturity, I commit to:
1. Prepare for ministry by maintaining my personal relationship with Christ.
2. Support the teaching ministry by praying for the church, other teachers, and specifically the children/youth in my class.
3. Cooperate with other ministries and place the greater good of the whole body over the needs of my ministry.
4. Personal growth and education by participating in training opportunities.
Should my application be accepted, I agree to follow the policies of Heritage Christian Fellowship and to refrain from unbiblical conduct in the performance of my services on behalf of the church.
