To Encourage Every Congregation to Establish and Implement a Child Protection/Safety Policy
WHEREAS, the proclamation of the Gospel to children and youth is of critical importance (Mark 10: 13-16); and
WHEREAS, we are concerned about the safety of children and youth (all those under 18 years of age) in our congregations; and
WHEREAS, we are concerned about protecting the reputations of the volunteers and professional workers of our churches against false accusations;
WHEREAS, many insurance companies are choosing to deny liability coverage to churches that have not established such a policy and procedures; therefore be it
RESOLVED, to encourage each congregation to establish and implement a Child Protection Policy; and be it finally
RESOLVED, that the Indiana District provide support for congregations in developing such a policy.
