2026-2027 Volunteer Application Form

This packet must be submitted no less than 5 business days prior to the event you are applying for.

Blue text indicates new/updated information.

The following is the foundation of beliefs on which TRINITY is based. They are also the key elements of Christianity that will be unapologetically taught in various ways through all grade levels. The substance of these statements is that which will be considered primary doctrine at TRINITY. All board members and staff of TRINITY must adhere to these foundational principles. Secondary or divisive doctrines and issues will not be presented as primary doctrine. When these types of doctrine or issues arise, they will be referred back to the family and local churches for final authority. All those who voluntarily associate with TRINITY are deemed to submit to the Statement of Faith and the scriptural authority upon which it is based. Any matters regarding the Statement of Faith, including scriptural disputes, shall be resolved according to the Holy Scriptures as interpreted and administered by the TRINITY leadership, in its sole and absolute discretion.

1. We believe the Bible (containing 66 books Old and New Testament) to be the only inspired, inerrant, authoritative Word of God. (II Tim. 3:16)

2. We believe that there is one God, creator of all things, eternally existent in three Persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. He is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. (Deut. 6:4; Gen. 1:1, I John 5:7)

3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal visible return in power and glory. (John 10:30; Matt. 1:18; Heb. 4:15; John 10:32; Rom. 3:25; Matt. 28:6; Rom. 8:34; Luke 21:27)

4. We believe that for the salvation of all lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary. (John 3:3-8)

5. We believe that salvation is by grace through faith alone. (Eph. 2:8)

6. We believe that faith without works is dead. (James 2:17)

7. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. (Gal. 5:16)

8. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they that are saved to the resurrection of life, and they that are lost to the resurrection of condemnation. (I Thes. 4:16,17; II Thes. 1:9)

9. We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (John 17:20-23)

Concerning Human Sexuality

1. We believe that the term marriage has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman (whose genders were determined at birth) in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture (Genesis 2:18–25). We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other (1 Corinthians 6:18, 7:2–5; Hebrews 13:4). We believe that God's command is that there be no sexual intimacy outside of or apart from marriage between a man and a woman

2. We believe that God wonderfully foreordained and immutably created each person as either male or female in conformity with their biological sex, as determined at birth. These two distinct yet complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God (Genesis 1:26–27).  

TRINITY is a private religious, non-profit Christian School representing Jesus Christ throughout the evangelical Christian community with all Biblical standards of moral conduct. All those who voluntarily associate with TRINITY are deemed to submit to the Code of Conduct and the scriptural authority upon which it is based. Any matters regarding the Code of Conduct, including scriptural disputes, shall be resolved according to the Holy Scriptures and the Statement of Faith as interpreted and administered by the TRINITY leadership, in its sole and absolute discretion.

TRINITY Community Members: All students, parents, faculty, staff, volunteers, and board members 

TRINITY hereby expects and requires all Trinity Christian School Community Members (“TRINITY Community Members”) to maintain a lifestyle based on Biblical standards of moral conduct. All are admonished to live a life led by the Spirit of God according to His Word bearing the fruits of the spirit which are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22).

Moral misconduct is defined as violating Biblical standards of moral behavior. Such violations include, but are not limited to, promiscuity or homosexual behavior or any other violation of the unique roles of male and female in human sexual relations, adultery, impurity, idolatry, witchcraft, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these (Romans 1:21-27, I Corinthians 6:9-20, Galatians 5:19-21). TRINITY believes that Biblical marriage is limited to a covenant relationship between a man and a woman, whose gender was determined at birth.

It is the goal and desire of TRINITY that all TRINITY Community Members would have a lifestyle in which God “might have preeminence” (Colossians 1:18, KJV).

All TRINITY functions and services are private meetings held on private property according to the policies and procedures followed by TRINITY and should not be considered open to the general public under all circumstances. The TRINITY leadership reserves the right to remove any participant for any reason in the leadership’s sole discretion. A TRINITY Community Member may be dismissed/removed from any TRINITY function or asked not to return if he/she demonstrates by conduct or spirit that he/she is out of harmony with the Statement of Faith, the spirit, or the policies of TRINITY, whether on or off property as determined in the sole discretion of the TRINITY leadership. Readmission considerations following dismissal/removal will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

PARENTAL SUPPORT
Parental support is an essential part of the educational process. If, in the sole discretion of the TRINITY leadership, a parent (whether they be a TRINITY Community Member or not) has failed to support the Headmaster or staff or the standards articulated in the Statement of Faith, the TRINITY leadership reserves the right to deny the student continued enrollment in the school.

Failure to maintain a lifestyle based on Biblical standards of conduct as stated in the Code of Conduct, the Statement of Faith, and throughout the school’s policies and procedures  may serve as grounds for dismissal of any TRINITY Community Member and/or student(s). 

 

I have read and agree to abide by the Code of Conduct given by Trinity Christian School. 

Trinity Volunteers are expected to dress modestly when on campus and/or interacting with students. Though we do not have a set uniform for our volunteers, we do ask that they refrain from wearing revealing (e.g. deep necklines, short shorts/skirts), overtly tight-fitting (e.g. spandex/yoga pants), or distracting clothing (e.g. inappropriate slogans).  Keep in mind what we ask of our students and staff to wear, and you should be good to go!  If you have questions regarding these guidelines, please contact the Trinity Office.

Trinity Volunteers are required to attend a Volunteer Orientation every 3 years (either in-person or by watching the orientation video).  This orientation gives valuable information about our school, our volunteer program, guidelines for various situations, and the chance to interact with other volunteers.  Please contact the Trinity Office to find out when the next orientation is scheduled or to receive a link to the video.

 

I have read and agree to abide by the volunteer Attire Guidelines given by Trinity Christian School. I understand that I am required to either attend an in-person Volunteer Orientation or view the Volunteer Orientation video for this school year.

I have read and agree to abide by the chaperone/driver guidelines given by Trinity Christian School. I understand that a Limited Criminal Background and Motor Vehicle Record Check will be completed and kept on file with this form. This form is only valid for three years and must be updated when a new background check is required. 

Trinity Christian School requires volunteers to submit to a criminal background investigation prior to volunteering for many of our school functions. Please complete the “Criminal History Affidavit” below, authorizing the school to perform a criminal background check. This affidavit, together with Federal and State criminal background check conducted by Trinity Christian School, will be maintained with our volunteer files.

Criminal History Affidavit

I affirm that I have never been convicted of any criminal activity, felony or misdemeanor crime involving children in Arizona or any other state: I have not suffered convictions for sex or drug related offenses or for crimes of violence, and there are no criminal charges pending against me. I also give my consent for TRINITY to initiate a criminal background check with the Federal, State and/or local authorities, and to check my driving record, with the Department of Motor Vehicles.

All Trinity Christian School volunteers must have this signed application and a background check on file. All driving chaperones must submit a copy of their current driver’s license and verification of liability insurance in the amount of at least $10,000/$20,000 bodily injury and $5000 property damage on the vehicle being used for the purpose of transporting students to and from school. In the event of an accident, driver’s personal auto insurance coverage will be considered primary and Trinity’s liability insurance policy will be considered secondary or excess coverage.
