GBR Youth Group Registration & Liability Release 2025&2026

Thank you for participating in a Grace Blue Ridge Church youth group event.  We do many fun and exciting things each year, requiring a Liability and Release form to be on file for each participant. Whether attending a special event, serving in our community, or traveling abroad for missions, we strive to make every event safe and fun.  The electronic signature of the participant or parent/guardian of participants under 18 years old is equivalent to in-person signatures and will be kept on file for up to one 1 year. We update all participants' releases at the beginning of each Fall Semester.

General Liability

I AM AWARE THAT WHILE GBR HAS ATTEMPTED TO MAKE THESE FACILITIES, SERVICES AND ACTIVITIES AS SAFE AS IS REASONABLY POSSIBLE, THE USE OF THESE FACILITIES OR SERVICES, OR THE PARTICIPATION IN THESE ACTIVITIES, CAN BE HAZARDOUS ACTIVITIES AND THAT I COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. I AM VOLUNTARILY USING THESE FACILITIES OR SERVICES OR PARTICIPATING IN THIS ACTIVITY WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE DANGER INVOLVED, AND AGREE TO ASSUME ANY AND ALL RISKS OF BODILY INJURY, DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, WHETHER THOSE RISKS ARE KNOWN OR UNKNOWN.
I verify this statement typing my name here:

As consideration for being permitted by GBR to use the facilities or services, or participate in the activities listed above, I forever release, waive, absolve, indemnify, and agree to hold harmless GBR and its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, agents, contractors, and representatives (collectively ā€œReleaseesā€) from any and all actions, claims, or demands that I, my assignees, heirs, distributees, assigns, guardians, next of kin, spouse and legal representatives now have, or may have in the future, for injury, death, or property damage, related to (i) my use of these facilities or services or participation in these activities, (ii) the negligence or other acts, whether directly connected to these facilities or services or activities or not, and however caused, by any Releasee, or (iii) the condition of the premises where these facilities are located, these services occur and these activities occur, whether or not I am then participating in the facilities, services or activities. I agree for myself, my heirs, and my personal representative, to defend, hold harmless, indemnify, release and forever discharge, to the broadest extent allowed by law, Grace Blue Ridge Church, its trustees, officers, employees, agents, insurers, successors, assigns, from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, or causes of action on account of any damage to real or personal property or any personal injury or death that may result from my participation in the above event.

I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT AND FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS CONTENTS. I AM AWARE THAT THIS IS A RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND A CONTRACT BETWEEN MYSELF AND GBR, AND SIGN IT OF MY OWN FREE WILL.

If Signed on Participant’s behalf by Parent/Guardian: I verify that the dangers of the activities and the significance of this Release and Waiver were explained to the Participant and that the Participant understood them, and further, that I execute this with full legal authority to grant the release granted herein on behalf of the Participant.

Media And Communication Release

Media: As part of documenting our events and activities, we will be taking photos and videos that may be used to share with our Grace Blue Ridge Church family, as well as in publicity for the event on Grace Blue Ridge's social media outlets. 
Communications: We are a relational ministry that seeks to come alongside our students and their families. While our programs are of some value, we should view them not as the end but as the means to connect with students relationally, pushing them to know and grow in relationship with Jesus Christ.  Our youth leaders are vetted and trained.  All adult-to-student communication is done within our approved ministry channels; it is not 100% private, and all communications are saved for 12 months. 

By typing your name, you agree to the media release permissions above. I permit for Grace Blue Ridge staff and/or vetted volunteers to contact my child through approved channels (if applicable). Your name is equivalent to your signature in person. (Type participant name if an adult or the participant's parent/guardian's name if under 18 here):

This waiver has been signed and executed in Hendersonville, North Carolina, on the following date:
