Staff Information

Sterling Volunteers

We have received this information from the conference regarding background checks.   This new program applies to all staff, staff spouses and any parents that wish to participate in any Pathfinder activities (age 18 or older).  If you are planning on helping or participating this year, please follow the directions of the attached document.  Some of you may help with youth groups at other locations (churches [Sabbath School, Pathfinders, Adventurers], schools, etc.)  You will only have to do this once, but make sure to include all the different organizations.  

For Collegedale Pathfinders: choose Church, Collegedale SDA Church, Pathfinders (even if your church membership is at a different church.  Then make sure to add all other places/churches that would need to have the screening completed.
