    • who are regularly scheduled/volunteer to serve minors (younger than 18),

    • on church property (in/around the meeting hall),

"And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward in full. But you, when you pray, enter into your private room, and shut your door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you." — Matt. 6:5-6
