Thank you for your interest in serving children at Frisco Bible Church. It is exciting what God is doing to build this ministry. You will never regret investing time in the lives of children. We want to be a congregation that passes His blessings on to others.
It is mandatory for all volunteers in our Childrens Ministry to complete and return an application. Please be as thorough as possible, date each area where you sign. We also require that all youth volunteers are engaged in youth and corporate worship, i.e. Wednesday night youth and corporate worship Sunday mornings. This is evaluated specifically for each person volunteering because it can look very different for individuals and their families.
This application consists of two parts, the first of which is a basic spiritual questionnaire. The second part of this application is a parental consent form. This application will be used for the express purpose of screening volunteers for the Childrens Ministry. Completed applications will be held in the strictest confidence. Upon completion, please return the application to Sarah Gosvenor or drop it in the locked drop box in Jeremy Mikeskas office.
Again, thank you for your interest in serving the children of Frisco Bible Church. We trust that Jesus will richly bless your efforts and that you will truly make a positive and eternal impact on the lives of this next generation.
Thank you, Jeremy Mikeska Minister of Families & Connections

Please print name _______________________________________________________ Scripture: We believe the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, that every word in the original manuscripts is inspired by God, without error, and that the scriptures in their completeness are of supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and life. (Cf., Exodus 17:42; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Matthew 5:7-18) Godhead: We believe in one God, eternally existing in three equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Cf., Deuteronomy 6:4; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; Ephesians 4:6; Hebrews 1:8; John 14:16-17; Acts 5:3-4) Jesus Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. We believe that during His life on earth He was true man while retaining His absolute deity, that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man.(Cf., John 1:1-4, 14-18; John 14:8-12; Hebrews 1:8; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:16, 20-21; Luke 1:34-35; Philippians 2:5-8; 1 Timothy 2:5-6) We believe in the literal, physical resurrection from the dead of our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was bodily exalted to the right hand of God. As His peoples high priest, He fulfills the ministry of intercessions and advocacy, and He provides our access to God. (Cf., Matthew 20:19; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Ephesians 1:19-21; Hebrews 12:2; Hebrews 4:14-16; Hebrews 7:23-25; Ephesians 2:17-18) The Holy Spirit: We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead. He convicts the world of sin, regenerates those who receive Christ as Savior, baptizes them into the body of Christ, indwells them permanently, seals them unto the day of redemption, bestows spiritual gifts on each one, and fills and empowers those yielded to Him. (Cf., John 16:8-11; Titus 3:5; 1 Corinthians 12:13; 1 Corinthians 6:19; Ephesians 1:13; Ephesians 4:30; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; Romans 12:4-8; Ephesians 5:18; Acts 1:8) Angels: We believe angels are spiritual beings who were created as sinless personalities. They presently exist in both fallen and unfallen states, the former including Satan and his angels. (Cf., Hebrews 1:13, 14; Jude 5; Ezekiel 28:11-15; Isaiah 14:12-20; 2 Peter 2:4) We believe that Satan, by choice the enemy of God and the people of God, led our first parents into sin and now rules as the god of this world. We believe he was judged at the cross, and that ultimately he will be cast into the lake of fire.(Cf., Ephesians 2:2; Hebrews 2:14; Revelation 20:10) Mankind and Sin: We believe that man was created in the image of God, but in Adams sin the human race fell and incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God. Man inherited a sinful nature causing all human beings to be born with a sinful nature.(Cf., Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 9:6; Genesis 3:1- Romans 5:12-14; Psalm 51:5; Romans 3:9-12, 23; Romans 4:12-14; 24; Ephesians 2:1-3) Salvation: We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures as a substitutionary sacrifice acceptable by God; and that all who receive Him by grace through faith are justified on the basis of His shed blood.(Cf., Matthew 20:18; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 John 2:2; Ephesians 2:8- 9; 1 Peter 1:18-19; Romans 3:23-26; Romans 5:8-10) We believe that all true believers, once saved, are forever secure in their salvation; and that the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit as a seal and pledge is ones guarantee of his inheritance. (Cf., John 10:27- 30; Ephesians 1:13-14; Ephesians 4:30; 1 Peter 1:3-5) Sanctification: We believe that sanctification, which is a setting apart unto God, is positional, practical, and permanent. Positional, it is already completed since the believer is in Christ. However, since he retains his sinful nature in this world, there is need for practical sanctification in his daily experience, whereby the Christian grows in grace by the power of the Holy Spirit. Permanent sanctification will occur in the presence of the Lord with the absence of the sin nature, where position and practice will be consistent. (Cf., John 17:17; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Galatians 5:16; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 10:10; 1 Peter 1:13-16) The Church and Ordinances: We believe that the church in its invisible form is a universal and spiritual organism, the true body and bride of Christ. All who are born again are members regardless of organizational affiliation. We believe the Lord instituted and ordained water baptism and the Lords Supper. (Cf., Ephesians 1:22-23; Romans 12:4-5; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14; Colossians 1:18; Matthew 26:26-28; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26) Future Things: We believe in the personal, imminent coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for His Church. We believe in a tribulation on earth which will culminate in the return of Christ to earth to set up His millennial kingdom. (Cf., 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 3:10; Matthew 24:15-31; Zechariah14:4-11; Revelation 20:1-6) The Eternal State: We believe Christians at death immediately pass into the presence of Christ, and there remain in conscious bliss until the resurrection of the body at the coming of Christ for the Church. Unbelievers remain after death in conscious misery in Hades until the final judgment at the close of Christs millennial reign, when they are cast into the lake of fire. (Cf., Luke 16:19-26; Luke 23:43; 2 Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:23; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9; Revelation 20:11-15)
