Children’s Ministry Training

on Safety and Security

If someone asked if your church is a safe and secure place for ministry to children and youth, how would you answer?

Join us as we discuss 5 top concerns for your ministry to children and youth. These concerns include awareness of predatory behaviors, the importance of vetting volunteers and policy development, supervision and enforcement, and mandated reporting. We encourage church leaders, deacons, teachers, security and welcome teams to come learn your role in making your church a safe and secure place.  Training will be March 2 from 10am-12pm.
