(You must be at least 20 years old.)

A mandatory team formation period is required in preparation for each Kairos Outside Weekend. Its primary purpose is to unify the team in the Spirit of Christ. This team formation period is highly structured with a well-defined agenda. The team learns about the Kairos Outside Program and how to carry it out. Specific tasks pertaining to the program are defined, explained, and assigned during Team Formation. Kairos is a Continuing Ministry. Team service also includes the participation in Kairos Outside’s Continuing Ministry (Reunions and S.W.A.P. Groups).

If accepted to serve on this team, I agree to attend the Team Formation meetings, to participate in the Continuing Ministry of Kairos, to abide by the rules and policies of Kairos, and to support in good faith the activities and spirit of Kairos.

AGREEMENT

1. I will obtain a current Kairos Outside Manual and will be familiar with my responsibilities as presented therein.
2. I will make every effort to attend ALLTeam Meetings. (See your Weekend Leader or KairosOutsideNC.org/events for team meeting and reunion schedule.)
3. After becoming familiar with the program, as a Christian I agree to support, in good faith, the Weekend activities, as well as the theological and scriptural content of the Talks/Meditations outlined in the Kairos Outside Manual.
4. I will abide by the rules of confidentiality as set forth in the Kairos Outside Manual. I understand if I breach confidentiality during any Kairos Outside activities, I may be dismissed from the ministry.

STATEMENT OF FAITH 

The people of Kairos are called by God to share the love of Christ with those impacted by incarceration. Kairos encourages believers from a variety of Christian traditions to be volunteers in this Christ-filled ministry.

Kairos programs offer to prison residents, their families, and those who work with them the opportunity to receive God’s forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ, and to grow in their faith and servant hood in Christian community.

We stand on the common ground of the following elements of faith:

We in Kairos believe:

• The Bible is God’s authoritative and inspired word for our faith and our lives.
• In the Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• In the deity, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
• Friendship with God is a free gift, for God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
• The love of Jesus Christ motivates His followers to provide food for the hungry, drink to the thirsty, welcome to the stranger, clothes for the naked and visits to the sick and those in prison.
• In sharing the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ with all incarcerated individuals, their families and to those who work with them inside and outside the correctional institution.

All Kairos Outside Activities are Drug, Alcohol, and Fragrance free.
