Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, absolutely! This is a great place to get started as we walk you through the process and train you in an area you’re interested in. AND there are so many different areas to explore – we want you to find one that you love to serve in!
We can totally appreciate that! Fortunately, each role has its own flexible time commitments. Some roles are as little as one hour per month, and some are much more involved. There are opportunities to serve at one or all three service times on a Sunday, but we also have mid-week opportunities and even some roles that are completed from home! Begin by assessing your available time and which days work best for you, and then we can explore your fit better.
It is our desire to create a safe space for our community to grow in faith, and part of that is creating a standard of care that everyone values and upholds. So, we require all volunteers to complete a screening process that requires abuse prevention training and a police check. It is a high priority for us to protect the vulnerable individuals within our community, and we’re here to equip you to do just that!
That’s totally OK! We have many different opportunities available and would love to walk with you through the journey of finding your best fit. You can connect with us by emailing volunteer@centralcc.ca.
