In addition we support individual state mandates on child reporting laws.

 

Please join us in all the steps we can take to keep our children safe in our ministry programs and prevent abuse in our churches, schools, and summer camp. 

 

Resources and training opportunities are available to equip and support families, volunteers, and employees in child protection.
