How it Works

Reliant accepts signature approval from our missionaries via electronic means such as email or being logged in to web applications. These kind of approvals are in lieu of a traditional "pen and ink" signature. This makes administration faster and more secure for you and all our other Reliant missionaries worldwide.

We look for two conditions to approve electronic signatures:

1. The identity of the missionary or party is securely verified. Reliant missionaries must use a password-protected, Reliant-issued account. (1: VERIFIED ID)
2. The missionary or party clearly communicates their approval. (2: I APPROVE)

Examples: you send an email from your verified Reliant.org email account and and say "I approve this change."  You login to one of our websites (e.g. Google Drive, Staffnet), and submits a form online while logged in. Submitting the form is counted as your approval, and it's stored as a record in our database.

Reliant Verified Accounts 

As a missionary, you have two verified accounts:

• ReliantID (also "GCMID"), our own independant login system currently used for gcmweb.org, gcmstaff.net, gcmcoach.net, gcmdev.net, mygcm.org, reliantstaff.gcmweb.org, and the future Reliant.org and events.reliant.org.
• Google Reliant Account, used for email first.last@reliant.org, storing Google Drive files, filing online reimbursements (via Google Sheets), creating your MTD Presentation book (via Google Slides), and more.

Update From the Old Policy

As of the 2015 update of this policy:

• You no longer have to type out your email address, full name, phone number and FD number in your electronic signature.
• Reliant will no longer be able accept e-signatures from a personal or church email account. Your verified Reliant account is your secure signature using your password.
  • (It's easy to configure your first.last@reliant.org account to work with your current email program or phone and alongside your other email accounts.)
