029: Keeping Your Children’s Ministry Safe With Smaller Budgets & Smaller Teams
from The Small Church Ministry Podcast · host Laurie Acker
Instead of your small church being a rather scary place for visiting families, learn how to make your small church one of the safest places in your community. While the familiarity of a small church leads to comfort and trust for its members, that’s not a shared trust for visiting families.In this episode we’ll talk about challenges facing many small churches in regards to best practices for safety in children’s ministry, and what to do about them. The obstacles of smaller budgets and less volunteers doesn’t excuse us from high standards in protecting our kids, our volunteers, and the reputation of our churches. Although small church ministry is different, it should never be less. Join me for the discussion on what matters (and why) in regards to safety & policy in children’s ministry. Plus we’ll throw in a few creative solutions for funding background checks and having an extra set of hands in situations where 2 adults in a room might be challenging. In episode 30, we’ll follow up with how to make policy changes a celebration instead of a drudgery as these shifts create some amazing changes & forward motion in your church culture.
