Child abuse scandals in the church shake our faith in our fellow neighbors, and sometimes even our faith in God. We cannot afford to ignore the issue, content to hope and pray that our children will be safe. Rather than waiting until something drastic happens and lamenting about it, churches can take active steps to put safeguards in place for their ministry.
This is a manual designed to help churches structure the safest possible environment for their children's ministry.
This manual provides:
Forms and procedures to screen volunteers
Ideas for structuring the church building to keep nurseries and Sunday school classrooms safe
Instructions for training children's workers
Information you must know to identify potential predators
