SUMMARY:In-Person Sexual Abuse Awareness Training
DESCRIPTION:For: Church leadership\, staff\, and volunteers \nYOU ASKED AND WE MADE IT HAPPEN! \nMany churches have asked for in-person sexual abuse awareness training for their church staff and volunteers. Kris Buckman is now a certified sexual abuse awareness trainer through Plan to Protect®! If your church does not use an online provider for sexual abuse awareness training\, such as MinistrySafe or Protect My Ministry\, BCM/D is pleased to offer an in-person alternative. It is strongly recommended that church leadership and anyone serving children\, youth\, and vulnerable adults are trained in abuse awareness. \nSexual abuse awareness training is the first line of defense in preventing and responding to sexual abuse and sets the foundation for a church’s policies and procedures. Anyone working with children must be able to recognize the signs and symptoms of abuse\, understand the grooming process of predators\, and know how to appropriately respond when abuse is suspected\, witnessed\, or disclosed. All of which will be covered in this training. \nParticipants will be quizzed on the material at the end of the session\, and upon successfully passing\, they will receive a certificate of completion (good for one year). Certificates should be placed in the participants’ personnel file. \nThis is the first recommended essential in BCM/D’s Pathways process: TRAIN\, SCREEN\, PROTECT\, REPORT\, CARE. \nWhen: Choose from three dates: January 13\, May 18\, September 28 9 – 10:30 am\nWhere: BCM/D office 10255 Old Columbia Rd. Columbia\, MD 21046\nCost: $5 per person (Not to exceed $50 per church. If your church sends over ten people\, the cost will only be $50). \n

SUMMARY:Ministry Safe Webinar: Background Checks – What you DON'T know can lead you into a ditch!
DESCRIPTION:BCM/D and MinistrySafe are proud to work together to protect children and those who serve them!\nMany churches rely heavily on background checks as the solution for child sexual abuse risk. Is this heavy reliance well-founded? In this session\, Gregory Love will address the realities of background check effectiveness. Love will also explain other factors that further impact background check effectiveness that are unknown to ministry leaders: federal and state legislative limits on search scopes and reports\, state record purges\, corners cut by background check vendors\, and more. BCM/D and MinistrySafe are excited to partner together for this informative webinar. \nDate | Thursday\, September 5\, 2024 \nTime | 11:00 am – 12:00 pm ET \nREGISTER TODAY!

SUMMARY:Everyone Belongs Camp
DESCRIPTION:Our Everyone Belongs Camp\, an overnight weekend for teens and young adults affected by disability\, is one way we are reaching young individuals affected by disability with the gospel. Through this camp\, we hope to invite all people with disabilities to the eternal banquet by fostering community and connections with the local church. \nAt Everyone Belongs Camp\, we want your child to be a part of an amazing weekend that they may not be able to otherwise experience! Campers\, ages 13-35\, can expect to pack for a three-day/two-night weekend of fun at the Skycroft Conference Center in Middleton\, MD. Campers will get the opportunity to ride the zip-line\, plunge down an outdoor water slide\, or relax by the pool. We will also have time for crafts\, singing\, and reading the Bible with our friends from The Gathering Place Church. Saturday night we will have fun with a dance party. All campers will get to experience the love of God through all activities during the weekend! \nIf you would like to register your child for camp\, please CLICK HERE. \nWe are in need of volunteers to serve our campers with disabilities\, ages 13-33. The greatest need for volunteers is buddies who will remain with the camper through all activities\, as well as stay in the group cabin with campers. All volunteers will need to pass a background check. The more volunteers we have\, the more campers we can host! If you desire to be a volunteer\, please CLICK HERE

SUMMARY:In-Person Sexual Abuse Awareness Training
DESCRIPTION:For: Church leadership\, staff\, and volunteers \nYOU ASKED AND WE MADE IT HAPPEN! \nMany churches have asked for in-person sexual abuse awareness training for their church staff and volunteers. Kris Buckman is now a certified sexual abuse awareness trainer through Plan to Protect®! If your church does not use an online provider for sexual abuse awareness training\, such as MinistrySafe or Protect My Ministry\, BCM/D is pleased to offer an in-person alternative. It is strongly recommended that church leadership and anyone serving children\, youth\, and vulnerable adults are trained in abuse awareness. \nSexual abuse awareness training is the first line of defense in preventing and responding to sexual abuse and sets the foundation for a church’s policies and procedures. Anyone working with children must be able to recognize the signs and symptoms of abuse\, understand the grooming process of predators\, and know how to appropriately respond when abuse is suspected\, witnessed\, or disclosed. All of which will be covered in this training. \nParticipants will be quizzed on the material at the end of the session\, and upon successfully passing\, they will receive a certificate of completion (good for one year). Certificates should be placed in the participants’ personnel file. \nThis is the first recommended essential in BCM/D’s Pathways process: TRAIN\, SCREEN\, PROTECT\, REPORT\, CARE. \nWhen: Choose from three dates: January 13\, May 18\, September 28 9 – 10:30 am\nWhere: BCM/D office 10255 Old Columbia Rd. Columbia\, MD 21046\nCost: $5 per person (Not to exceed $50 per church. If your church sends over ten people\, the cost will only be $50). \n

This session is designed to help both single and married men to remain pure and holy in their sexuality. \nA Man and His Mental and Emotional HealthBrian Bailey\, LCPC – Radical Positivity Consulting\, LLC\nMental and Emotional challenges were not foreign to people in the Bible. Men like David and Paul demonstrated mental and emotional anguish over their respective situations. This session will help men to develop and awareness of their mental and emotional state\, while provide practical wisdom for moving towards health. \nA Man and His FamilyJoel Rainey\, PhD\, Lead Pastor – Covenant Church\nThe Apostle Paul instructed men to love their wives and raise their children in the admonition and instruction of the Lord. This session will provide practical steps for maintaining a healthy marriage as well as a nourishing relationship with their children. \nA Man and His Physical HealthOmari Jackson\, PhD. (Sociology)\, Certified Wellness Coach – Jackson Transformational Wellness and Fitness\nThe Apostle Paul reminded the Corinthian church that our bodies are the temple of God. This has implications on how men are to steward their bodies for the glory of God and for their own good. This session will help to encourage men to prioritize their own physical health while providing practical steps for growing in this area. \nA Man and His ShieldKeith Myer\, Director of Missions – Eastern Baptist Association\nThis breakout session is designed to help men protect their families from the threat of sexual exploitation. \nA Man and His Spiritual Rhythms (morning session only)Jamie Caldwell\, State Director\, MD/DE – Send Network; Lead Pastor – South Shore Church\nJesus modeled rhythms such as prayer\, solitude and rest for his disciples. Our spiritual health is able to thrive when we follow Jesus’s model of such rhythms. This session will help men to identify and implement healthy rhythms into their life in order to grow their spiritual health. \nA Man and His Finances (morning session only)Tom Stolle\, Executive Director – BCM/D\nJesus desires his disciples to be good stewards of their possessions. This session will help men to better steward their money by covering financial topics from developing a budget to preparing for the future. \nA Man and His Leadership (afternoon session only)Glenn Swanson\, Senior Pastor – Bayside Baptist Church; Former BCM/D President\nThe Bible places much of the leadership responsibility onto men\, particularly when it comes to our family and our church. However\, many men will lead outside of these two institutions as well. This session will encourage those men who desire to become better leaders by providing practical steps and wisdom for leadership. \nA Man and Mentorship (afternoon session only)Jeremy Dickson\, Church Partnership Missionary – BCM/D\nThe Apostle Paul mentored Timothy and instructed him to mentor other men who would in turn mentor others also. This session will help men to understand the importance of mentoring younger men and provide practical steps for developing and maintaining mentoring relationships. \n \n \n \n \n \n Oops!
