Safe Sanctuary Training

Safe Sanctuaries is our effort in providing a safe place for our congregation to gather, where children, youth and adults can experience God's love.

All church staff or anyone who is 18 and older working in any volunteer capacity with children and youth at the church or para church ministry are required to complete our Sale Sanctuary Training and obtain federal and state clearances before beginning staff and volunteer work.

In order to complete all of our Safe Sanctuary requirements, you must review our Safe Sanctuary Policy, submit and pass the accompanying Safe Sanctuary Quiz, sign and submit our "Safe Sancutaries Particiation Covenant Statement," and obtain the following clearances:
