Topic: Safe Church: Building Stronger Bonds

As a church of extravagant welcome, we are very serious about the safety such welcome implies. Extending God’s welcome means offering a safe environment for anyone who might participate in church activities, regardless of age, gender-identity, ability, etc. Further, we are aware of our legal and moral responsibilities as a public setting. Our Pension Boards staff are ready to address your questions about safe church practices during 3 sessions. Sign up now!
