Children are a precious resource.\u00a0 A church is entrusted with the care and nurture of children. Church leaders offer safe places for the children of the church and neighborhood.\u00a0 Most churches perform background checks on persons who participate in ministry to children at church.\u00a0 Did you know that only about 10% of abusers are ever prosecuted?\u00a0 That means that 90% of offenders will be undiscovered through background checks.<\/p>\n
The church must develop additional means to protect children.\u00a0 This webinar will\u00a0 discuss ways to identify a “groomer”.\u00a0 A groomer is a person who seeks to develop a trusting relationship with a child so that they might exploit them.\u00a0 We will also discuss policies to prevent the possibility of groomers gaining access to children in the church.<\/p>\n
