Safeguarding God’s Children
In 2004 (year) the House of Bishops in the National Episcopal Church passed a resolution to provide for the active, nurturing, and safe participation of children in our communities. (Read the Resolution Here – link).
 
The resolution called on each diocese to develop and adopt policies for the protection and children and youth.
 
Here at St. Paul’s we have actively embraced this resolution and have in place our St. Paul’s Policy For the Protection of Children & Youth, which has been tailored to our community based on the national church’s model policy.
 
Our goal is to provide a safe community for all people to live and worship together. The St. Paul’s policy ensures that all people – clergy, staff and lay – who regularly work with our children an d youth have appropriate guidelines, training and parameters for participating with children and youth.
 
More than 70 adults in our church have been trained.
