INDUCTION AND FORMS

Your Ministry Leader will email you your Position Description for your volunteer role and ask you to complete:

A. Complete the Ministry Screening Questionnaire that all staff and volunteers must complete. 

We recommend you read through the Questionnaire before completing it. Click here to view. If there are any questions which you are concerned about answering and would rather speak to a senior staff member before filling out the form, please contact the Safe Church Team to arrange a meeting.

C. You will need to complete a Code of Conduct form
Either a SERVICE level Code of Conduct or a LEADER level Code of Conduct. Your Ministry Leader will advise which one is relevant to your role:

Leader Level – For all leadership roles, small group and youth leaders and River Kids leaders who are over 18

Serve level – All other roles and ALL under 18 volunteers

service level code of conduct
leader level code of conduct

It is best if you complete all items in Step 2 of the process in the order shown above. If you have any questions please ask your Ministry Leader, a member of the Safe Church Team, or one of the Pastors if you have any questions or concerns. 

Please note, this information is captured into a register that is only accessible by Katharine Montoya, Sophie Brodie, Glenn Power and Margaret Thompson as part of the Safe Church Team. Your Ministry Leader will NOT have access to your information (with the exception of your references) unless there is something that will assist in the interview. If you wish to know more about this process or have a particular concern, please contact Katharine.

INTERVIEW

If you are a new volunteer, you will have an interview with the Ministry Leader. This can
look different depending on the role that you will be doing and could be as simple as
a quick phone call. For discipleship based ministries this should be face to face and will explore
more of your faith journey and gifts and ensure you have the opportunity to ask questions.

4

SPECIFIC MINISTRY INDUCTION

Ministry leaders will run the applicant through any specific information relevant to their role and ministry. This will look different depending on your role and leadership level and could be a 15 min chat before you start on greeting team, or a longer team meeting if you are becoming a River Kids or Youth Leader

CREATING SAFE SPACES (IF APPLICABLE)

This step is only applicable to those in relational leadership and/or working with kids and teens. If that is you, you must complete the Creating Safe Spaces Online Module before serving.

You will also need to attend the Creating Safe Spaces Workshop within 6 months of beginning your role.  Your Ministry Leader or a member of the Safe Church Team will contact you with further information about this.
