030: How To Build Widespread Support for Stronger Child Safety in Your Small Church

Most people on the planet would agree that, of course, we want to keep our children safe. And yet, when many small churches try to put current best safety practices in place for their nursery, children’s Sunday school, or KidMin, they’re often met with resistance. Questions like these popup, with a lot of emotion attached: “Are all these policies really necessary?” “Why do I need a background check when I've been teaching Sunday School for 25 years?” “If you don’t trust me to change a diaper, you shouldn’t put me in the nursery.”If you want to experience support instead of push back for upping the children’s safety standards in your church, listen in for seven specific steps to help turn the struggle into a celebration instead. Taking wise steps to move forward with purpose will go a long way in protecting the kids in your care, keeping your volunteers serving more joy and confidence, and growing a reputation of excellence in your community.RESOURCES MENTIONEDGet your FREE ticket to the Women Reaching Women Conference! smallchurchsummits.comSupport the showSUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!
