Why do we have a process?

Volunteers are the hands and feet of our Grace Bible Church body. We aim to equip them well for the role they set out to do. In order to encourage people to cross-serve, whether they change campus or want to try out a new department, we’ve streamlined this application process using Church Community Builder. This process includes a serving interest form, application, background check (if applicable), child safety training (if applicable), interview, post-interview,

Can someone serve forever and ever, amen?

Applications and interviews do not expire unless they stop serving completely for a year or more. However, we require renewals of Child Safety Training and Background Checks after 2 years through our Volunteer Renewal Process regardless if they’re serving continuously or not.

Start: Serving Interest Form

All volunteers should enter this process through their campus Serving Interest Form on the Grace Bible Church website. ****Contact the Admin from your department with any questions.
From there, potential volunteers should then receive an application to fill out. Our current interview guide will show you which of the 3 levels of applications your department requires and the questions to ask in an interview.

Who needs an Application to volunteer?

EVERYONE that is not a current Fellow or Perm staff member. It does not matter if they are related to a staff member, have been at Grace longer than you’ve been alive, or seem like a really cool person.
