Child Protection Policy
At First United Methodist Church we believe that children and youth are precious to God and to the church. Therefore, we are dedicated to ensuring that all children in our care, continue to grow healthily, happily and spiritually in a safe and caring Christian environment. As a result, we have developed and continue to implement policies for the protection of child physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse. The policy defines inappropriate as well as permitted conduct, what to do about high risk situations, and assigning responsibility for implementation as well as covering the important areas of Recruiting and Selection of Workers, Worker Supervision, Reporting Procedures, and Responding to Reports of Abuse.
All workers with children and youth, including volunteers as well as staff persons, must receive the training. They also must return an application, provide two personal references and consent to a criminal records background check. The policy is very specific as to who can and cannot work with our children.
