Safe Sanctuaries Course
Led by Suzanne Cobb on Zoom
$25
January 7, 2023 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Designed for laity, this online course equips participants to understand the need for Safe Sanctuaries in every congregation. Participants will gain a better understanding of what Safe Sanctuaries means to them, their churches, and those they are protecting.
Every United Methodist congregation is required to have a Safe Sanctuaries policy. But Safe Sanctuaries is more than just a policy. It’s a way of doing ministry. Join us for this course and become an advocate for Safe Sanctuaries in your congregation!
While this course does not count as an “advanced Lay Servant Ministries course” for those seeking to renew or certify in Lay Servant Ministries, it is a required course for all those preparing to become certified lay ministers.
Participants will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the course.
