I understand that Main Street Presbyterian Church is committed to providing equal opportunity in all employment practices, including but not limited to selection, hiring, promotion, transfer and compensation to all qualified applicants and employees without regard to age, race, color, national origin, sex, handicap or disability or any other category protected by Federal, State, or local law. As a religious organization, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 exempts Main Street Presbyterian Church against religious discrimination in employment on the basis of religion. All applicants and employees are required to adhere to Main Street Presbyterian Church’s Statement of Faith to be eligible for hire and in the course of their duties and responsibilities as an employee of Main Street Presbyterian Church.

I authorize former and present employers, and professional, work, and personal references listed in the application and any other individuals I may name, to give Main Street Presbyterian Church or its designees any and all information concerning my previous employment and any pertinent information they may have, personal or otherwise, and release such parties from all liability for any damages that may result from furnishing such information to Main Street Presbyterian Church. I also authorize Main Street Presbyterian Church to provide truthful information concerning my employment with it to future employers, and I agree to hold it harmless for providing such information.

I understand that Main Street Presbyterian Church reserves the right, to the extent permitted by law, to require drug and alcohol screening tests of an applicant or an employee either prior to employment or anytime during employment, and I hereby give my consent to any such tests. I consent to the release of the results of any such tests to Main Street Presbyterian Church or its designees. I release Main Street Presbyterian Church and its designees from any and all liability and damages which may result or arise from any drug and alcohol screening tests or the provision of information in connection with such tests.

I understand that this employment application and any other documents are not promises of employment. Should I be employed, I understand that my employment will be on an “at-will” basis. I further understand that if I am employed, I may terminate my employment at any time, with or without advance notice and that Main Street Presbyterian Church has a similar right. I understand that no manager, representative, or agent of Main Street Presbyterian Church has any authority to enter into any agreement for employment for any specified period of time, or to make any agreement contrary to the foregoing. I agree to be bound by any additional employment standards as set forth in this application, the employee handbook, or agreed to between myself and Main Street Presbyterian Church at the time of hire.

The information given by me on this application and during the interview process is true and complete in all respects, and all information requested in the application and hiring process will be provided on a timely basis. I agree that if the information is found to be false, misleading, or unsatisfactory in any respect (in Main Street Presbyterian Church’s judgment), I will be disqualified from consideration.

I acknowledge that Main Street Presbyterian Church may obtain a criminal history background screening on me for use in connection with my application and, if I am hired, my employment with Main Street Presbyterian Church. I also authorize Main Street Presbyterian Church to obtain this information periodically while I am employed.

This application will be considered “active” for a maximum of one year. If you wish to be considered for employment after that time, you must reapply.

Do not sign until you have read and understood these statements.
