Child safety & giving

Sample template. Adapt this summary to your church’s full policies and your state’s laws.

Screened volunteers

Every adult who serves with children or youth completes an application, a background check and child-safety training before serving, and renews them regularly.

Secure check-in

Children are checked in with a security tag. Only an adult with the matching tag can pick them up.

Two adults, always

Every classroom has at least two approved adults. No volunteer is ever alone with a child out of sight of others.

Photos of minors

We do not post photos of children with their full names. Parents may ask us at any time not to use photos of their children.

Voluntary giving

Giving is always voluntary and supports the mission and ministries of the church. Online gifts are processed by a secure third-party payment platform; we will never ask for card details by email, by phone or through this website.

Giving statements

We send a yearly giving statement to anyone who asks for one. Please ask your tax advisor about the deductibility of your gifts.
