MDPC invites into ministry only those adults who a) have no previous convictions for sexual or physical abuse of children; b) for whom they receive positive responses from their references; and c) who meet MDPC's qualifications and ministry standards of the position for which they are applying.
I am aware that the MDPC Youth Staff and Volunteers contact youths outside of church activities for ministry purposes through text message and social media. If I am uncomfortable with this contact, I will contact Laura Miller in the Youth Office to discuss this further.
In the event that the named youth is injured, or should require medical or dental attention while participating in a church-sponsored event, I hereby authorize the church representatives or sponsors of the event to secure necessary medical treatment for the named youth and will be ultimately responsible for the cost of any medical care should the cost of that medical care not be reimbursed by the health insurance provider. I further understand that it is solely my responsibility to notify the MDPC Youth Ministry of any changes regarding the named youth's health, medical insurance, or guardianship information. I do hereby specifically release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue MDPC, its staff, volunteers, agents, and governing bodies, for any action or causes of action, including, but not limited to, personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death, which may exist or which may hereafter arise during and following the participation of the named youth in a church-sponsored event occurring between the dates listed on this form. I further understand and agree that in the event that the named youth is involved in activities that violate or compromise the rules, policies, or purposes of MDPC, I will accept full responsibility for release of the named youth to my custody and care. I further understand that I will cover all financial costs if the named youth is sent home for disciplinary reasons.
I give permission for any videos or photographs taken of the named youth to be used by MDPC. No names will be used.
I have completed the contact information, insurance information and the medical history information. My youth and I have read the above rules of conduct and understand the expectations and consequences.
