Safe Sanctuaries
Our congregation's purpose for establishing this Safe Sanctuary Policy is to give our unwavering commitment to the physical safety and spiritual growth of all the children, youth, and adults who attend and participate in ministries and/or work at Zebulon United Methodist Church. As a Christian community of faith, we seek to conduct the ministry of the Gospel in ways that assure the safety and spiritual growth of all our children, youth, and adults. We work to follow reasonable safety measures in the selection and recruitment of workers and we have implemented prudent operational procedures in all programs and events. We educate all our workers with children and youth regarding the use of all appropriate policies and methods and we have a clearly defined procedure for reporting a suspected incident of abuse. This congregation is committed to demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ so that each child, youth, or adult will be "surrounded by steadfast love,…established in the faith, and confirmed and strengthened in the way that leads to life eternal" (from "Congregational Pledge 2," "Baptismal Covenant II," in The United Methodist Hymnal, page 44).
