Registration is open until Thursday, December 19, at 11:00 pm. This gives the attendee enough time to register for the training, order and receive the reading materials, and read before the day of class.
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!
This year’s course has been revised to include material from the new Safer Sanctuaries resource.
Who can join? Anyone! Though the course is designed for those training to become certified lay ministers, this course is open to anyone (clergy and laity alike) who would like to better understand the need for safe sanctuaries in every congregation.
Will I receive Lay Servant Ministries course credit? While this half-day course does not count as an “advanced course” for LSM renewals, it is required for all those preparing to become certified lay ministers in the NC Conference. Participants will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the course.
