CHILDREN'S MINISTRY VOLUNTEER APPLICATION

Working with children is one of the most rewarding parts of serving the Lord in His church. He finds them precious and wants His church to nurture them in the truths of His Word and the wonder of His love.

This application must be completed by all applications (volunteers and employees of Warrior Creek Baptist Church) for any potion involving supervision or custody of minors.
