How Can Our Church Plan for Risk? Part 2

Host Ron Wadley continues his conversation with Executive Pastor Liam, shifting from building risks to the church’s most vulnerable areas: people and data. He stresses that children’s outreach creates high legal exposure without a documented safety plan, strong screening practices, two-adult supervision, and a six-month membership rule, plus abuse and molestation insurance. The episode covers training needs for volunteer safety teams and staff risk management through background checks, onboarding materials, and workers’ compensation coverage. Wadley also highlights directors and officers insurance to protect board members’ personal assets and urges churches to adopt data security plans and cyber liability insurance to recover from cyberattacks.
