AbuseĀ is real and we have a Christian responsibility to confront and deal with it. SafeChurch, an initiative that has been under development since September 2021, provides training and resources to prevent abuse in the church and to minister to victims of abuse. These resources support churches in developing appropriate policies and procedures to protect, guide, and create a culture of safety.
These resources include video training for elected and appointed officials, ministers, and lay leaders. The videos are accessible throughĀ Ministry Central, with new videos uploaded every couple of months. SafeChurch also provides articles, recommended books, sample policies and forms, and many other files for use in local churches. These resources are available to credentialed ministers atĀ upciministers.com.
For more information and links to resources, visitĀ upci.org/safechurch.

Sincerely in Christ,
