----DGHMScuv;iMwlBi Dear Potential Baptist Hospital Teen Volunteer: Thank you for your interest in our Teen Volunteer Program. Teen volunteers at Baptist Hospital provide needed and valued services to the staff, patients, and guests of Baptist Hospital. We strive to accept students into our program who are truly interested in becoming an integral part of the volunteer team at Baptist. We hope that volunteering at Baptist will be a positive learning experience for the students we work with, rather than just a way for them to complete their required community service hours. Please carefully read through this application packet, as it contains very important, detailed information concerning the minimum qualifications you must meet in order to be accepted into this program. Space is limited; not every student who applies will be accepted. Acceptance is based on the qualifications, an expressed interest in a career in a healthcare field, the contents of the student essay, and an interview that will be scheduled at a later date, once your application has been reviewed. Once you have completed all parts of the application, please return these materials to the Volunteer Services Office at Baptist Hospital. Incomplete applications will be returned to you. If you are selected to be interviewed, you will be notified by mail. It will be at least 3-4 months before you hear from us, due to the volume of applications we receive for review. Thank you again for your interest in our program. Please contact us if you have any further questions. We look forward to working with you. Sincerely, Yanilia E. Santos Coordinator, Volunteer Services Dear Applicant, Thank you for your interest in employment with the Georgia Baptist Conference Center. It is important you know what we believe so you may understand the ministry of the conference center. As a Christian organization, we are here to serve Christ by serving others. Please read the following before completing this application. We believe … • We believe the Holy Scriptures as originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. • We believe in the Triune God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. • We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His substitutionary atonement for sin, His bodily resurrection and His personal, visible return to earth to reign in righteousness and glory. • We believe in the Person of the Holy Spirit and His work of conviction, regeneration, and sanctification, who indwells every believer equipping them with gifts for service and witness. • We believe in the necessity of new birth, in salvation by faith in Jesus Christ alone and the importance of a life fully committed to the will of God in Christ. • We believe the church is the one universal body of Christ who is the Head, called to be God's redeemed people. These beliefs help us determine if we will be the right choice for different groups seeking a place to meet and fellowship. It is our hope that these stated beliefs will also help you determine if the Georgia Baptist Conference Center is the right choice for you. Please read and complete each page of the application to the best of your ability. All pages of the application (with the exception of page 7) must be signed at the bottom of the page in the space provided. If your signature is not entered on the respective pages, the application is considered incomplete and cannot be processed for consideration of employment.
