Men's Retreat for 9th grade & Up.

In consideration of being permitted to participate in the event(s) described above and to the fullest extent permitted by law, I hereby release, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Church and its agents and employees from any and all past, present, and future, known and unknown liabilities, actions, causes of action, claims, expenses, personal injuries, and damages, including those caused by the negligence or fault of the church, its leaders, employees, or volunteers, and including without limitation, interest, penalties, court costs, attorney's fees and expenses resulting from or on account of injury to my child, myself, or my property in connection with any event anticipated by this form. I further release any and all claims brought by or through me, including claims for loss of consortium and all similar claims based on relationships with other people.

I authorize the Church staff, volunteers, and contractors acting on behalf of the Church, to take and/or use likenesses of me or my child(ren), including photographs, videos or otherwise, for any lawful use on the Church’s website, social media pages, blogs, or in other official Church printed or electronic publications without further consideration.

I expressly agree that this release, waiver, and indemnity agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted in the Commonwealth of Virginia and that if any portion hereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the remainder shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect. I also agree that any controversy or claim, by or through me, arising out of or relating to the activities anticipated by this form shall be settled by binding Christian arbitration conducted by the National Center for Life and Liberty or another Christian arbitrator, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This release contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto and the terms of this release are contractual and not mere recitals.

I further state that I have carefully read the foregoing consent and release and know the contents thereof and I sign this document as my own free act. This is a legally binding agreement which I have read and understand.

By signing below, I give permission for my child to attend the Battlefield Baptist Church (the “Church”) {activity at BBC} and to participate in all activities. I hereby grant the leadership of Battlefield Baptist Church full rights and authority to act for me in any manner pertaining to the care and control of my child named above during this event. If for any reason this child needs to leave early from the event, I accept responsibility to answer any communication, in a timely fashion, from the church or volunteers and to arrange for the child’s transportation home.

I understand and agree to assume all the risks which my child may encounter at the {activity at BBC} activities sponsored by the Church.

I hereby authorize the Church staff or volunteers, and/or emergency and medical personnel to make emergency medical decisions for my child and for my child to be treated for such medical emergency.
