Application Process
Thank you for your willingness to serve at PBC. Each person's contribution towards seeing others lives transformed for the Gospel is so valuable. In order to serve at PBC, each person must go through an Application and Screening Process, which we have tried to make as easy and streamlined as possible, while seeking to fulfil good Safe Church requirements. The process is as follows:
Speak to the Ministry Leader
Discuss with them about your desire to join their ministry team and serve, and they will be able to tell you about what the role entails, and provide you with a copy of the Role Description, which is important for the Application Process and in helping you understand the role.
Fill out the Application Form
All volunteers must complete the Application Form as part of the Safe Church Requirements. It will collect information about you and the role you are seeking to volunteer in. On the Application Form, it will refer to information found on the Role Description (such as Role you are applying for and, Category of the Role).
Complete Screening Requirements
Once you submit the Application Form, it will automatically redirect to a page which outlines the screening requirements you need to complete for that role, taking into account those that you have previously completed. It will also provide links to the relevant forms for completion. Please complete these ASAP.
Await Approval
Once you have completed the Application Form and all screening requirements, the Operations Team will process it and let you and the Ministry Leader know you have been approved and they will commence any required induction process for the particular ministry.
