RESOURCES

Sexual Abuse Prevention and Response

It is our biblical responsibility to protect and care for those we serve. We do that by building an educated and informed community around children and youth that is fully equipped to prevent, spot and report abuse. We can provide crucial insights into safety and security and can guide you through creating robust abuse prevention systems, including volunteer screening, training resources, policies and procedures, and response plans. It is our desire that every church foster a safe environment where children and youth can grow, learn, and explore their spirituality. Please visit our Sexual Abuse Prevention and Response page to get started or contact Kris!
