Policy
for Ensuring the Well-Being of Our Children:
We
are a church dedicated to ministering to Children and Youth and committed to
being pro-active when it comes to the care and keeping of children.
Primary Features involving our Children's Ministry and
Youth Ministry:
Ü
To only use volunteers who have filled out an application and have
been screened
Ü
To use volunteers who have been part of our congregation for at
least six months, except for special cases where appropriate references have
been thoroughly checked
Ü
To have at least two approved workers with our children during
classes and organized activities
Ü
That all concerns and suggestions regarding the safety and care of
our children will be taken seriously
A high standard of ministry to children and youth demands
a strong partnership between staff, volunteers and parents.
Ü
Together, we provide the Children's and Youth Ministries.
Ü
Together, we can provide a safe, nurturing environment in which we
can bring our children to the Lord.
What we ask of parents as partners:
Ü
Prayer, for our children, our parents and other volunteers who
minister to them.
Ü
Alertness, responsibility, and thoughtfulness: to your child's
needs, to the needs of volunteers, and to conditions that need improving.
Ü
For you to stay with your child until two approved workers are
present.
Ü
For you to monitor your children when they are not under the care
of a volunteer. Running in
the building is discouraged.
Ü
Commit to help adequately staff our Children's and Youth
Ministries and make them all God wants them to be.
Ü
Sign and return permission slips promptly for special activities.
