Youth Band Application and Contract

(Information received is strictly confidential)
Please Note if you are under 18 years old it is required that you are currently registered for youth this year (it is free, but you need to be registered so we have your medical information). If you have not yet registered please do so at: https://form.jotform.com/232335083072247

Thank you for your desire to be in the youth band! This is a position of leadership, and like all positions of leadership thre are responsibilities that come with it. We desire to reduce the risk of abuse within our church ministries, we believe this information is necessary to protect our children, our youth and our leaders and to effectively place our leaders in ministry positions. Thank you in advance for your partnership.

Practises will be held on Thursdays at 5:45pm to 6:45pm

OUR RESPONSIBILITY

· We believe it is our responsibility to protect the students in our care. Students (and parents) need to know that we have taken every reasonable step to ensure students' safety in our ministry.

· We believe it is our responsibility to protect staff and volunteer workers in our ministry from being exposed to false accusations of sexual misconduct. To this end, we have screening and supervision policies in place to protect our ministry workers.

· We believe it is our responsibility to protect our ministry. By requiring child protection training, as well as implementing screening and supervision policies, we are modelling good safety procedures to others.

This document is designed to help us be aligned in our focus to worship and share the love of Jesus through music.

OUR PURPOSE: To worship God and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus through musical worship as well as to help facilitate an opportunity for our church family to worship the Lord through music.

Requirements to be in the Youth Band:
- Believe that God is the one and only God, and that He is worthy of all praise
- Have given your life to Christ
- Attending Bramalea Alliance Church Sunday service a minimum of 2 times a month
- Have been attending Bramalea Alliance Church for a minimum of 6-months
- Being registered in youth ministries
- Parental permission
- Supporting the leadership team
- Being committed to fostering an environment where everyone feels loved and welcome - no gossip will be tolerated and if it becomes an issue you may be asked to step down from the team.
- You must have a humble and teachable spirit, servant heart and mindset.
- Spending regular time in prayer and reading your bible
- The Youth Band is not a music class. Our goal is to help teach you how to play with other people and in a band, however, you will be responsible for learning your instrument and practicing throughout the week.
- Remember to bring your instrument and any other supplies/materials you may need for practices and Sunday services.
- You will need to respond to planning center requests and for weeks that you accept and are scheduled for you will need to come to the practice. If you cannot make it to the practice you will need to let the leader know asap. Life happens and we understand if you cannot make it to a practice however, if you miss too many practices you may be asked to take a break from the Youth Band.
If the Youth Director or Key Youth Band Leader deems your conduct to be a distraction to the team or you are not living up to the rules listed above you may be asked to step down from the band. This will not happen without a one-on-one meeting with the youth director where the reasons will be explained to you. In most cases, we will have a three-strike rule, however, we hold the right to ask you to step down after your first strike if it is severe enough.

Thank you again for your interest in joining the Band!

STATEMENT OF FAITH IN THE CHRISTIAN AND MISSIONARY ALLIANCE IN CANADA
1. There is one God, who is infinitely perfect, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

2. Jesus Christ is true God and true man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood. He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures. He is now at the right hand of the Majesty on high as our great High Priest. He will come again to establish His Kingdom of righteousness and peace.

3. The Holy Spirit is a divine person, sent to indwell, guide, teach, and empower the believer, and to convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.

4. The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice.

5. Man was originally created in the image and likeness of God, he fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. All men are born with a sinful nature, are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. The destiny of the impenitent and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment, but that of the believer is everlasting joy and bliss.

6. Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men; those who repent and believe in Him are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life, and become the children of God.

7. It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly, thereby being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God, receiving the power for holy living and effective service. This is both a crisis and a progressive experience wrought in the life of the believer subsequent to conversion.

8. Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body. Prayer for the sick, and anointing with oil as taught in the Scripture are privileges for the church in this present age.

9. The church consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the body, the church, whose members have been commissioned by Him to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the gospel to all nations. The local church is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together for the observance of the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s supper.

10. There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life, for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment.

11. The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent and will be personal, visible, and premillennial. As the believer’s blessed hope, this vital truth is an incentive to holy living and faithful service.
I believe and agree with the above statement of faith*
