2. I acknowledge that I have voluntarily come to Made Whole, a Christian

discipleship ministry offering help and support to men and women seeking to grow

in Christian purity, holiness, and maturity according to traditional biblical teachings

about sex, sexuality, family and relationships.

 

3. I acknowledge that my participation with Made Whole is not a substitute for

active involvement in a local Christian church of my choice.

 

4. I also acknowledge that my participation with Made Whole is not a substitute for

psychiatric treatment, psychotherapy, therapeutic counseling or any other form of

professional therapy. I understand that Made Whole does not offer professional

therapy. Made Whole staff and volunteer team members are not licensed

professional therapists. I acknowledge that if any team member possesses a

professional license as a therapist, they do not serve in that capacity with

Made Whole.

and spiritual wellbeing. And I further acknowledge that it is my responsibility to ascertain my own need for professional counseling and to seek such professional counseling as

Needed.

 

6. I understand Made Whole promotes an orthodox, biblical perspective on sex,

gender, and marriage, and while the ministry respects individuals’ freedom to

choose for themselves what they believe and how they will live, sometimes

individuals’ perspectives can conflict or confuse the goals of Made Whole’s groups.

Therefore, Made Whole reserves the right to decide on a case by case basis

whether an individual can participate with Made Whole.

 

7. I understand that because my participation is completely voluntary, I have the

right to discontinue my involvement with Made Whole at any time with or without

prior notice.

 

8. On behalf of myself and my assigns, I waive all actions, claims or demands

against Made Whole (including all agents, employees, officers, or directors of

Made Whole) from any liability for any injuries suffered by me during my voluntary

participation in any Made Whole service, including those resulting from negligent

acts or omissions, or resulting from negligent acts or omissions of any other

participant of Made Whole’s programs or groups. On behalf of myself and my

assigns, I hereby agree that I will not make any claim against, sue, or otherwise seek

damages against Made Whole, including those listed above.
