Does Your Church Fight over Safety?

A calm and intentional approach to working through safety needs and practices for churches is available.

Some topics such as children’s safety and security can be divisive. The book Intentional Church Safety (Bevan Collins, 2022, Amazon.com) is a practical guide to understanding these concerns and calmly working through them. The only fixed points are those required by law for all organizations. Outside those requirements, there are many choices. Each congregation or safety focus group should make their own choices to have policies, procedures, and practices that make sense to them.

Once a congregation makes the choices above, they can expand and adjust them as needed. The end result is an Intentional safety program that they should be able to perform when needed.
