9:30 am – 12:00 pm
On Zoom
In the last few years, we have faced many challenges in our world and in our churches. We have learned new ways to keep connected and train our pastors and church leaders. Safe Sanctuaries is more important than ever, especially with more and more youth online not just for entertainment but for learning needs. This training is vital for all church leaders and pastors, especially those with an ongoing relationship with the children and youth in our facilities.
This training will try to answer your questions and concerns about the need for Safe Sanctuaries, and the role each of you take in providing the safest environment for our children. It will help you maneuver the clearances needed as both volunteers and paid staff, mandated by the State and the United Methodist conferences. We will offer forms and resources you can use to help your groups maintain information and equip you with the background you need to understand the conference policies. We hope you will take advantage of this training to make our time spent with our children and youth both safe and enjoyable.
Please note we will be offering ASL interpretation on this training if we meet the required amount of individuals needing this accommodation (12). We will notify registrants ahead of time if we do not receive enough registrations to offer ASL interpretation.
