Mennonite Church Saskatchewan Safe Church and Church Program Policy: A Plan to Protect Children, Youth and Adults

2014, 19 pp
As followers of Jesus Christ, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, we recognize the guidance and authority of God through prayer, worship, and the Scriptures. Employees and volunteers involved in Mennonite Church Saskatchewan thus have the calling and responsibility to mentor children and youth at MCSask events to also know God’s guidance and authority. We do this by conscientiously modelling healthy relationships with Jesus Christ and with all human beings. Healthy relationships include appropriate physical, sexual and emotional boundaries whereby the safety and well-being of all people is ensured1. In order to grow as communities of grace, joy and peace, MCSask events must provide an environment in which children and youth can grow physically, emotionally and spiritually and all people are safe.

In addition to a spiritual commitment, the church has moral, legal and societal obligations to ensure a safe environment for children, youth and vulnerable adults participating in church programs. Recognizing the human capacity for unacceptable behaviour, we accept our responsibility to implement clear policies and procedures to minimize the risk of abuse to those who participate in church programs and events.
