I'd check with the person(s) who went over the requirements with you. Could be it is just a copy of someone else's policy they got off the internet and changed a little to fit your congregation. It's been done many times. Ask them if this also includes CHLs. If it does, politely state that you are withdrawing from volunteering. Personally, I'd also state why and do the same to the congregation leadership. If they continued to balk I would be looking for a new church home. How far you wish to take it is up to you.
