The next step is registering for and completing a training course, followed by on-the job orientation.  Training seminars are held twice yearly. The number of sessions required varies according to the ministry position you are interested in.  For most positions, it consists of 6 sessions over a period of 3 weeks.  Pre-training orientation is offered throughout the year for those who have completed their application process (see below) and are awaiting the next training session.  

 

The third step is a volunteer ministry application.  The application packet includes a personal information form, and three reference forms completed by people who know you.  Once your packet is complete, you will meet with a staff member to review your application and determine the course which is most appropriate for you.  An application can be completed before, during or after training.
