Along with diocese across the country we are moving towards the terminology of
Creating Safe Churches, which is the real aim of the program. As Christians we seek to create
safe, nurturing environments for all of God’s children to grow.
New staff persons (paid employees) and new EYC advisors are required to complete this training within six (6) months of beginning their new positions. Please remind your attendees to bring their certificates to the church for filing.
