Staff and Volunteer Screening Form

Welcome to the Staff and Volunteer online screening form.

Thank you for your willingness to serve at Hope Christian Academy. Because we want to try to protect Hope students with the highest degree of safety, each and every adult paid worker and volunteer must submit a signed and completed screening form. We trust that you share Hope’s desire to protect the precious children whom God has entrusted to us.

Christian education is far more than just a student’s academics. Our prayer is that Hope’s ministry would mark a spiritual turning point in the lives of the young people who attend. Because each and every adult paid worker and volunteer has the potential to impact the students for good or for evil, we must ensure that all participants maintain a Biblical standard of Godliness in their personal behavior.

Please fill out the screening form completely, taking care to answer each question truthfully and completely. Your confidential information will be used for official ministry purposes only. You may not serve with students unless a signed and completed screening form is on file.

Please plan on completing this form in one sitting; partial forms cannot be saved and later restored. It should take no longer than 15 minutes to complete this form. After submission, if you need to update or change any information, please contact the HCA office directly. When you are finished with this form,  you will be shown a confirmation message.

We value your privacy. All information entered is treated confidentially, and only transmitted using industry-standard 256-bit SSL encryption to ensure privacy. For additional information, please view our privacy policy.
