Faith in Action: Keeping Children Safe in Our Churches
This training is designed to equip church leaders, staff, and volunteers with the knowledge and tools needed to address and prevent child abuse within faith-based environments. Participants will gain an understanding of the latest research on child abuse in religious settings—including the patterns, risk factors, and systemic issues that contribute to abuse going unrecognized or unreported.
We will also explore practical strategies for creating safe, transparent, and accountable church cultures that prioritize the well-being of children. This includes implementing strong child protection policies, training staff and volunteers, recognizing warning signs, and establishing appropriate reporting protocols.
In addition, the training will offer guidance on how religious leaders can play a vital role in supporting healing for survivors and their families. Emphasis will be placed on trauma-informed care, responsible pastoral responses, and restoring trust within the faith community. This is a critical conversation for any church that is committed to protecting children, responding to past harm with integrity, and fostering a culture of safety and compassion.
