Safe sanctuary

We are a Safe Sanctuaries church, and are committed to the safety and well-being of all our children. Our goal is that every child will see the love of Jesus in each person who leads them in study and worship. All volunteers go through a Safe Sanctuaries training, and have background checks run.

Safe Sanctuaries Policy  |  Background Check Form | Safe Sanctuary Training

If you have been asked to become Safe Sanctuary certified, please complete the training above. You will be educated on Safe Sanctuaries and briefly quizzed. Following the training, we ask that you follow the link to sign your name, letting us know you have completed it. The entire process will take about 15 minutes. Thank you!

Picture
The Texas Annual Conference of United Methodist Churches has chosen the TrainRight program as the required training program for its Conference members for any staff or volunteers who will access to or contact with children or youth at any Conference or District sponsored event or activity. A copy of the Conference's Policy Addendum requiring this training is attached below as well as a link to the Conference website where a copy of the Safe Sanctuary Policy (which is required reading for applicable staff and volunteers) can be viewed. In addition, TrainRight can provide a sample "Safe Child" policy to churches and faith-based clients who use TrainRight's program.

TrainRight's Child Abuse Awareness, Prevention & Certification Program covers four important areas
  1. The definitions of Physical Child Abuse, Emotional Child Abuse, and Neglect, and Sexual Child Abuse;
  2. The physical and behavioral signs that can indicate the potential presence of child abuse;
  3. The methods that sexual child abusers use to gain access to their victims; and
  4. The rules and methods that can be used to help protect children and youth and prevent the occurrence of child abuse in your organization
Remember, TrainRight also provides you with online reports and certificates providing proof of training and certification dates for purposes of monitoring compliance with either state requirements or your organization's own policies.
