How to Become a Volunteer

Application Process

After a time of prayer, if you feel led to become a volunteer and help the Elijah Family Ministry, please follow these steps:

Complete the online Elijah Family Ministry Volunteer Application (see below).
Upon completion of the Volunteer Application, follow the link provided to complete a background check through Safe Hiring Solutions.
Complete the Elijah Family Ministry Volunteer Skills Form (see below).
Once steps 1-3 have been completed and received by the ministry, you will be contacted for a personal interview.

Welcome to the Team

After you have been invited to join the EFM team, your training will consist of a minimum of

A three hour orientation and training
Completion of three hours observing service provided to families
Completion of three hours serving family member(s) with supervision

At the end of this training, you will meet with the Ministry Leader or Outreach Coordinator about your progress and, with mutual agreement, be given Active Volunteer Status. Your name will then be added to the Active Volunteer Roster of individuals available to minister directly to families.

Ongoing Volunteer

As a trained volunteer with Elijah Family Ministry, you will have flexibility as to how often you commit to ministering to a family or individual. In order to maintain your Active Volunteer status, we ask that you commit to quarterly ministry meetings where additional training and ministry updates will take place. If you miss more than two consecutive quarterly meetings, you will be reclassified as an Inactive Volunteer, until such time as you can obtain any needed training updates and information.
Once you agree to assist with a family, you will be asked to commit to three hours of volunteer time each week for a minimum of three months. At the end of that time, the family’s progress and needs will be accessed. If it is agreed that the family would benefit from continued service, team members would be asked if they can commit to another period of additional time working with the same family.
The three hour commitment per week would consist of 1-2 hours of direct contact helping family members and a brief weekly team meeting with other volunteers who are working with other members of the same family.

Briefly describe your relationship with Jesus Christ

Statement of Faith: The Apostle’s Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
