PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN

Making sure that children feel safe and well-cared for is a top priority. We have not experienced any incidents of child abuse or misconduct towards children at our church, and we are making every effort to keep it that way. Our children’s ministry volunteers all undergo a thorough screening process that includes an application, reference checks, training, and a basic attendance requirement. We take great care with our children to ensure that they are handed off directly from families to children’s ministry leaders, and there are always two adults present in children’s ministry settings.

As a part of the Diocese of Christ Our Hope, we have robust policies in place that we adhere to. These policies can be found in the diocesan policy manual for child protection (linked here).
