Below is a brief description of what is expected of a Leader at LTC. Please read carefully and acknowledge that you have read and understand the expectations of you, group leader by initialing below.

Thank you for investing in THE Cause. We believe your week at Lead THE Cause (LTC) will inspire you, empower your group, focus your ministry, and transform your community. In preparation for your week at LTC, here are some expectations we have for you as a group leader:

1.  LTC is a time of both training and strategy development. You will be working closely with your church group to seek God’s direction (through prayer and other exercises), and develop a strategic plan to impact your community for THE Cause. Most of your time will be spent in large group sessions, small group time with your church group, and on various outreach experiences. You (along with your team sponsors) will be responsible to lead your group time and outreach experiences. Instructions will be provided by the LTC team.

2.  You are responsible for your group (including keeping your group on schedule, maintaining discipline, and dealing with group specific issues as they arise).

3.  Prior to attending LTC, you must designate at least one or more leader(s) from your group to manage all prescription and non-prescription medications for your church group. We have attached a medical release form that MUST be signed by each student’s parents BEFORE you arrive on campus. Your assigned leader(s) will be responsible for storing and distributing medications according to the directions given on the prescription label. NO teens are allowed to keep and manage their own medicines while at LTC (with the exception of as-needed medications such as inhalers). Failure to complete this form could result in your students not being allowed to participate in LTC.

4.  Prior to attending LTC, you must make a transportation plan for your group. If your students are arriving on campus in their personal vehicles, it is your responsibility to make sure that your student does not leave campus on their own during the week. LTC will NOT provide transportation to off-site activities.

In an effort to reduce the risk of COVID-19 exposure, I agree to immediately inform Dare 2 Share if within the 7 days prior to the event:

• I test positive for COVID-19 or have reason(s) to believe that I have COVID-19.
• I experience any cold or flu-like symptoms (fever, cough, shortness or breath, or other respiratory problems).

I understand that I am attending and participating in activities of Lead THE Cause (LTC), a program of Dare 2 Share Ministries (D2S) in partnership with Colorado Christian University. I understand that these activities may include physical activities and may require transportation. I hereby give my consent to participate in said activities.

I release, forever discharge, and agree to hold harmless D2S, its leaders, staff, employees, members, agents, vehicle owners, vehicle drivers, trip sponsors, partners, board of trustees, and any other parties volunteering on behalf of D2S, for any and all liability, claims, damages, suits, fees, and costs incurred while I am at LTC participating in any activity of LTC.

I realize that I may incur personal injury or bodily damage while participating in such activities and acknowledge that many activities will be physical in nature and will include travel. I hereby assume all risk of personal injury, sickness, death, damage, and expenses as a result of participating in all activities involved therein. I acknowledge that D2S, its leaders, staff, employees, members, agents, vehicle owners, vehicle drivers, trip sponsors, partners, board of trustees, and any other parties volunteering on behalf of D2S, shall be held harmless from any and all actions, claims, costs, expenses, and damages of any kind, caused by, or related to any activity of LTC in which I participate.  I further acknowledge that this is a full and complete release of all injuries, sickness, death, limitations, and damages I could sustain as a result of my participation in any LTC activities.  

I further agree to hold harmless and indemnify D2S, its leaders, staff, employees, members, agents, vehicle owners, vehicle drivers, trip sponsors, partners, board of trustees, and any other parties volunteering on behalf of D2S for any and all liability sustained by the church, D2S equipment, vendor equipment, and campus as a result of the negligent, willful or intentional acts by myself, including expenses incurred.

I authorize my church group leaders, LTC staff, or facility medical personnel, if necessary, to consent to any X-Ray examination, diagnosis and/or treatment (i.e. anesthetic, medical, surgical, or dental), or hospital care to be rendered to me under the general or special supervision and on the advice of any physician or dentist licensed under the provisions of the Medical Practice Act on the medical staff of a licensed hospital, whether diagnosis or treatment is rendered at the office of physician or the hospital, I shall be liable and agree to pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such medical/dental services rendered.  This authority is granted only after a reasonable attempt has been made to contact an emergency contact or in a life-threatening situation.

I understand I will be transported to and from LTC activities by my designated group leader. I realize there are some dangers involved in transporting people to their activities; therefore, I specifically waive any claims I may otherwise have against D2S, its leaders, staff, employees, members, agents, vehicle owners, vehicle drivers, trip sponsors, partners board of trustees, and any other parties volunteering on behalf of D2S. Should it be necessary for me to return home due to medical reasons, misconduct or otherwise, I shall assume all transportation costs.

In the event of inappropriate conduct by me, I understand that I will be dismissed from the LTC event campus immediately. The result of my inappropriate conduct will cause me to be excluded from remaining activities and access to premises, which may result in lodging or travel expenses at my own cost.

I realize that D2S is not responsible for my personal belongings or lost or stolen items.

I give permission to have my photograph/video taken by D2S and its partners at any LTC event and to use the photo/video for any of the following, but not limited to the following: appearance in a video/digital picture to be used in a multimedia presentation or an Internet web page and/or appearance in a picture/video to be used in a publication.

Below is listed Dare 2 Share's (D2S) Statement of Faith. Please read carefully. By signing below, you acknowledge that this is D2S's theological stance.

Below is listed D2S's code of conduct that D2S will require of each participant of LTC. Please read carefully. By signing below, you signify that you are in agreement and will comply to the below.

"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus" Philippians 2:5 

D2S allows the use of technology medium (e.g. cell phones, smart phones, laptops, social media, and other similar communication technology) during LTC. Technology and social media is a lifestyle in our current day and generation. The LTC program will have key elements where technology will be useful in the training. However, we will uphold integrity and a conduct that is appropriate as a follower of Christ in the use of outward communication. 

• I will use my technological medium in a manner that is fitting to the program and for emergency purposes.
• My communication using technology and social media will be done with integrity, truth, and in a manner that is appropriate for a Christ follower.
• I will focus on the training when required and set aside my technology and the use of it when not required so that I can gain as much from the program as I can and be an attentive leader of my group.

Due to liability and some accommodation restrictions (parking, etc.), any participant with a car and/or of driving age will be required to refrain from the personal use of their or any other vehicle throughout the LTC program and stay. Participants understand that travel to and from locations involving the program will NOT be provided by D2S.
