• The third reference is a Professional Reference. You are welcome to use any of the WUMC staff or another personal reference you choose.
• If you are able, we ask that you cover the cost of the background check so that Westlake UMC can continue to fully fund the ministries we do. However, we are happy to reimburse you as we cannot do ministry without your excellent volunteer help!
• If you checked for a driving record fee as well, the total will be $20.50
• If you did not check for a driving record then the total is $10.00

• This event is always 2 hours long. Both in person training and Live Online Facilitated Session are two hours long.
• Once you have your spot reserved then move onto Step 2 below to do the Safety Training Course. Ideally before you attend the in person/webinar training, but this order is not a requirement.

• Go to https://safegatherings.com/app/login and log in.
• This will bring you to your application status page. At the bottom there is a blue button that says “Click here for Training Course”. Click!
• This will bring you to the online, at your own pace, training pages. There are 12 "modules" and each module has a certain number of “pages” or slides. You must read or listen through each page of the training course because quiz questions are sprinkled throughout to make sure you’re still reading/listening.
• After you have finished all the modules, click on the “Test for Review” at the end. After the test you are finished with this step.

This lasts for two hours.
