When the #Metoo movement broke out, some Christians were sympathetic but a little smug. Well, that’s what happens in godless Hollywood, some seemed to think. Then the #Chuchtoo movement was born. As story after story broke of Christian leaders engaging in similar predatory behavior, suddenly we didn’t feel so smug anymore. The truth is that no place—including churches—is off limits for potential abuse. That why it’s so important to be vigilant.
This week we’re featuring practical resources to help your church protect its members. Our Safety and Security Assessment Pack is designed to help you enact basic safety measures that will make your church a secure environment. Perhaps no ministry in your church is more vulnerable to potential predators than the children’s ministry. This resource will enable your church to carry out its mission while safeguarding minors against emotional, physical, and sexual abuses.
Safety and Security Assessment Pack It will never happen to us. It's a common thought when it comes to church safety, but far too many churches are unprepared to deal with theft, injury, abuse, and legal issues. Use these assessments to measure how vulnerable your church is, and discover some key places where you can be proactive, move toward a secure and safe church, and reduce your liabilities while raising your level of ministry. Each assessment conveniently fits on one page, so they're easy to print, copy, and hand out. Jeff Hanna, James Cobble Jr., Stephen Chawaga, and more Read More
