SEXUAL ABUSE PREVENTION IN THE CHURCH 101
On average, 70 allegations of child abuse are reported in American churches each week. Providing a safe environment within your church is critical. Every church should have an Abuse Prevention & Safety program that they adhere to consistently. Whether your church does not yet have a plan to prevent abuse, or even if you do have a plan but want to continue to improve, we will be presenting resources that can help you.
