Parent Communication & Release Forms

Serving with United Kids

We encourage you to prayerfully consider volunteering with us in the United Kids Ministry. There truly is something for everyone from small group leader rotations to occasional event help. Please contact Alix Arndt or call the Church Office for details.

Kids Event Release Forms

United Kids has updated its documentation and come out with a new and improved United Kids Event Release Form to cover our kids and volunteers in all of the awesome things we do together.

This latest version of the paperwork [below] will be valid until September 2025, barring any changes to the NC State Law or changes in United Kids Ministry guidelines. The Photo Release Form will be valid indefinitely until rescinded in writing. The Permission to Participate & Medical Form will be the only form that will require updating as allergies, medical concerns, insurance can be in constant flux and we want to be sure to always have the latest information to provide the best care for your youth.

Please complete the three release documents and return them to a member of our United Kids Staff Team. All three of these forms and a copy of your insurance card are required in order for your kids to participate in any United Kids Ministry Sponsored Activity.

  1. Click here to access the fillable PDF of the "MUMC Kids Release & Medical Information 2024-25 FILLABLE"
  2. Click here to access the fillable PDF of the "MUMC Photo release 2024-2025 FILLABLE" (This form includes live streaming that occurs in our worship services, and must be completed annually.)
  3. Click here to access the fillable PDF of the COVID-19 Assumption of Risk form required for ALL kids participating at in person activities during this season of our ministry. (This form is designed in a way that all kids in a family unit can be listed on one form, a separate form on each kid is not necessary.)

Please complete these forms and return them to a member of the United Kids Staff by email, mail, or in person to the United Kids Staff Offices.
