Safe Church Process: As we gear up for fall/winter ministries, it is imperative that all Volunteers helping with children and youth ministries make sure they have their clearances completed. Because of state mandated laws, NO ADULT can work with children/youth until this process is
completed. You will need to complete the Volunteer Process, which is outlined on the church website. Under “Resources” you will find a “Safe Church” link.  It describes the 7 units that need to be completed.  If you have questions, please call the office for help.
