NOTE TO ALL VOLUNTEERS: our Diocese protocol is that everyone volunteering in any capacity with the church must have a criminal records check completed in the past 5 years. If you do not have one, you need to take the "Background Check Letter" to the local RCMP detachment and have this check completed. The Hampton detachment is open Monday to Friday, 8:30 - 4:30. There is no charge to have this done and it only takes about 15 minutes. You will need two pieces of identification. The first is a driver's license or something from Service New Brunswick or Government of Canada showing your address. The second piece is another form of government issued ID such as a passport or medicare card. If you do not live in the Hampton area, you need to have the background check done by your local police detachment. Most will not charge if it's being done for a volunteer position. You must also print and complete the two "Volunteer Information Forms" and return them to Tammy Beyea at the church. *Please print all 3 of the documents below to have your background check completed.*
