Our Commitment to Safe Sanctuaries

Jesus calls us to welcome the little children—and we do! Assuring the safety of children in our care is a sacred duty. We commit to protect children in our care, to provide them safe sanctuaries. We screen and monitor those directly involved in the care of our children and youth. We train the congregation and its leaders on the reality of child abuse, risk factors leading to child abuse and prevention strategies. Safety procedures require two or more non-related adults present in classrooms and activities when a child is present and interior windows in all classrooms.
