Safeguarding God's Children

We all know how important it is to keep our children safe. We also know that it is so often up to us to make their safety a priority. This training in "safe church" is for anyone that works with children and youth in a church setting. It is for teachers, leaders, and volunteers.

Safeguarding God’s Children

Saturday, June 28 (register by June 20)

St. Barnabas, Portage

Certification Workshop 9:00am-12:00pm

Train-the-Trainers Seminary 9:00am - 2:00pm

We are holding a Safeguarding God's Children Certification Workshop & Train-the-Trainers Seminar. This is a great time to have all of the teachers for your Vacation Bible School & fall Sunday School teachers certified.

Have you considered becoming a trainer for this program? We are looking for people who have a passion for children's safety to become trainers for the Diocese. Once trained, you will be able to have certification workshops in your parish (with a trained co-trainer). To become a trainer, you must have a recommendation from your rector (or senior warden if you are between rectors - or from the Bishop if you are a priest).
