***** CSAT Compliance ***** 

In order to insure the safety of all church attendees (especially the children) as well as maintain compliance with our insurance policy, all volunteers are required to go through a vetting process which begins with a paper application and includes contacting references, an in person interview and a criminal background check. If you are currently volunteering in any capacity at GT and have not completed those steps, please see Joyce Porzi after service. (If you are having trouble finding her, check the Nursery). Thank you.
