Parental Sign-Off Form for Dependents
If your child is a dependent 15 years of age and under and applying to serve at Grace Church they are expected to complete the training in full. However, given the mature matters of the training videos, if you as a parent would prefer to refrain from having your child watch the training videos, you may sign this form agreeing to go over the training with them in a more age-appropriate manner, having completed the video training yourself.

Steps 1-3 must be completed 2 weeks before your initial serving date.

STEP 4: reference and background checks will be conducted

Automated emails will go out requesting references that you provided in Step 1. Please follow up with your references since we will need to hear back from ALL your references prior to your interview date.

STEP 5: Participate in a Ministry Safe Interview

After you complete Step 4, we will contact you for a brief face-to-face interview with a pastor or a member of our staff. The interview should be scheduled at least one week before your initial serving date.
