Canadian Baptists of Western Canada hasn't added a story.
Accidents and abuse take place everyday, even within the walls of our churches. It’s hard to talk about, but child safety and abuse prevention policies are a necessary part of healthy church life.
"The affects of abuse are far-reaching for the
individuals involved and for the church as a whole,” says Sherry
Bennett, the CBWC’s Coordinator for Children and Families Ministry
Network (CFam) who has spearheaded the development of a new resource
document called Preventing Sexual Abuse in the Church.
Every child deserves a happy and carefree life, and good leaders in
their church to mentor, love and protect them. Following proper
protocols can mean the difference between a child’s happiness and
safety, or emotional and spiritual pain that lasts a lifetime.
Sherry receives frequent requests from churches for help in
preparing protocols for child safety.
“Many of the churches that I have spoken with want to do what’s
right in this area but are overwhelmed by the work that it can take to
get these policies and procedures in place. They don’t even know where
to begin,” say Sherry. “My desire is to offer a resource that helps to
simplify this process by guiding churches through some key evaluations
of their own abuse prevention practices and helping them take next
steps to create a safe environment and meet (or even surpass!) the
criteria for liability insurance.”
For the last 2 years the Children and Families Ministry of the Canadian Baptists of Western Canada has been working on a manual for churches on safety for children and vulnerable people. This resource helps our churches put into place best practices for protecting the defenseless among us.
But now we need your help to get this resource communicated to every church. We’re trying to raise $3000 ensure that Sherry can carry on her work and ensure that every CBWC church is equipped for abuse prevention.
By giving some of your time and money today, you can help keep kids safe and thriving!
