Safe Sanctuaries Policy

Beginning in 1996, the North Georgia Conference called for all churches and related agencies to have a policy in place to protect our children, youth, and the adults who work with them.
This Child Safety Policy requires for all adults who work with children and youth to complete and Application from as well as agree to a Background Check, regardless of how long you have been a member or volunteered at that church.
The policy also calls for strict supervision/guidelines and participation in all events.

The North Georgia Conference has a policy that we adhere to. To view a copy of that policy, go to www.ngumc.org/youth/. We also require each church to comply. Please complete the Safe Sanctuary Abiding form and bring it with you to the Confirmation Retreat. - See more at: www.ngumc.org/safesanctuariespolicy#sthash.8Op0WdUj.dpuf
