Volunteer Type

Before you continue, please consider the following:

1. We ask that all "RFM Core Volunteers" make a weekly commitment to serving. Our hope is that this ministry becomes part of the weekly rhythm of your life. By making a weekly commitment you are committing to the weekly spiritual discipline of service. When this discipline is practiced faithfully, you will see the fruit of community love, joy, and peace grow in your life.

2. We understand that not everyone is in a place to make a weekly commitment. If you want to serve but aren't ready to make a weekly commitment, you will be considered "RFM Support." This is also deeply needed. Volunteers who support core volunteers act as substitutes when the need arises. If you choose to be a part of our support team, you should be ready to serve in varying capacities.

For the protection of the children

We must ask the following questions. Answering "yes" will not automatically disqualify you from this ministry, but we ask that you please provide a written explanation for all "yes" answers.

I understand that to verify my suitability as a volunteer worker for the children's department, Refuge Calvary Chapel will request a criminal records search. I understand that personal information will be held confidential by the children's directors and church leadership. As a volunteer worker in the children's department or Refuge, I agree to observe and abide by the policies and safeguard measures of Refuge Calvary Chapel.
