Safe Sanctuaries

Because we believe that Jesus taught us to care for His children and youth, we commit our churches to the practice of safe supervision. A Safe Sanctuary policy sets standards for the supervision of the children, youth, and vulnerable adults in our care. Thus, in covenant with all United Methodist congregations, we adopt policies for the prevention of neglect and abuse.

Therefore, as Christian communities of faith and United Methodist congregations, we pledge to conduct the ministry of the gospel in ways that assure the safety and spiritual growth of all children, youth, and vulnerable adults and those who minister to them.

The following resouces will help your church in establishing and implementing Safe Sanctuary policies and procedures.
