Why Church Safety Matters
Your church should be a safe place. Everyone should feel welcome and protected. But many churches don't know where to start with safety planning.
What churches deal with:
- More than 75% of churches don't have a safety team
- Many churches don't know what rules they need to follow
- Church leaders want to help but don't know what to do first
- Communities need safe places to gather and worship
This event will help you learn simple ways to make your church safer for everyone.
