About your oversight
Being part of the learning pathway requires each person to have an oversight minister. This is someone who already leads a church and is the person to whom you will be directly accountable for your ministry. The oversight minister must be ordained or hold equivalent authority or licence within your denomination. We will be approaching this person to seek their support for your application.
What is the name of your home/sending church?
What's their website?
How long have you been part of that church?
What's the name of your Oversight Minister (church leader) or the name of a leader we might contact within your Oversight organisation?
What's their email address?

About your story
We want to get an idea of your Christian journey and what's led you to this point.
How did you come to faith?
How do you share your faith with others?
Please describe who you are called to reach by forming a new church community? (this might be a group of people, a place or a network) and what has led you to this.
How did you discern the call to do this? How have you tested this call?
What other ways have you considered or are actively using to respond to this call?
What, if any, relevant qualifications/experience do you have that may be helpful?
This isn't about requiring a specific educational standard, but again seeking to recognise what qualifications you already have that will be helpful.
As you explore planting or helping to plant a church, how does this fit in with your current occupation and existing time commitments?
Do you have any learning disabilities we need to be aware of?
If yes, please add relevant details

Confidential Declarations
In order to ensure a safer recruitment process, we are obliged to ask you the following question. We may use the discernment meeting and your references to follow up.

In some denominations, the role of a Church Leader may require an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service clearance. Your Church leader and Hub Leader can advise on this. It may not be needed immediately.
Have you been convicted of any criminal offence during the past four years?
If yes, please state the nature and date(s) of the offence(s).
There are certain roles in a variety of settings working with vulnerable groups where an Enhanced Disclosure Check is not possible, but it might be desirable/necessary for the person to support the expectations of the church/organisation. This document can be processed by the Lead Recruiter for anyone undertaking a Basic Disclosure Check. Whilst not mandatory, there are some roles in a church/organisation where it is important to know that the person who has a level of responsibility and/or is regarded as being in a position of trust is suitable and supports the expectations of the organisation in relation to safe conduct.

We (Myriad and its Hubs) undertake to meet the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulations which became effective on May 25 2018, and all other relevant legislation, and comply with the expectations of the Information Commissioners Office relating to the privacy and management of data about individuals.

The expectations of this role are that you; have no relevant unspent convictions, are not currently the subject of any criminal investigation or pending prosecution, and that there is no cause for concern regarding your conduct with children, young people or adults at risk in the context in the role for which you are applying.

It is also expected that if you become the subject of a criminal investigation, or a social services investigation, you will inform the relevant person in the organisation. You should also be in agreement with any Code of Conduct applied to your role and agree to abide by it. If you have any concerns regarding your suitability for the post that you have applied for, you should discuss this with an appropriate person and NOT sign this form
