Safe Sanctuary Training

What A is Safe Sanctuary? Ssssset of standards to keep children, youth & vulnerable adults safe in your church

Why?

“Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me, ” Jesus said. Luke 18: 5

“Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord. ” Luke 2: 22

Members of the household of faith, I commend to your love and care these children (persons), whom we this day recognize as members of the family of God…

With God’s help we will so order our lives after the example of Christ, that these children surrounded by steadfast love, may be established in the faith, and confirmed and strengthened in the way that leads to life eternal.
