Reporting

We immediately report suspected or known abuse to the state authorities and our ministry supervisor. This includes behavior that just doesn’t feel right. If you are unsure, ask. If we see abuse, we intervene to stop it. We don’t talk to others in the church or in the community about these details so that investigations are not compromised.

We report any violations of this policy to our ministry supervisor as soon as possible.
