safeguarding  god's  children 

Dear Friends,

As a church, we take very seriously the safety of children. Part of ensuring their safety and protection is that all people in the church who work with children (Sunday School, Youth Ministry, Childcare, etc) must have background checks and be certified in Safeguarding God's Children. Safeguarding God's Children is a program designed to raise awareness of how to prevent sexual abuse, as well as how to be more aware of the warning signs that somebody may be a victim of sexual abuse.

Again, anybody interested in working with children must be certified in this program. In addition to anybody who works with children, all Vestry members are required to be certified as well. The program is 3 hours and sponsored by the diocese at various parishes.

If you have already gone through the program, you need to renew your certification once every five years. You can renew online and do not have to come to the training. You can begin your online training by clicking here.

Even if you do not plan on working with children in the near future, this is a good opportunity to learn and grow more aware about the importance of protecting God's people. Please consider registering if you are interested.

As always, please contact the church office (262-763-7482; stjohn53105@sbcglobal.net) if you have any additional questions.
