Creating Safe Ministries

God intends for the church and its ministries to be a safe place for all to encounter God and grow into lives of service and fulfillment. We are called to be a holy community.

This information is designed to help all ministries be safe ministries.

This Helpline was set up by the PC(USA) with its partners the Insurance Board and Praesidium. Councils can also call the Helpline for resources.
