Safe Church

The purpose of a Safe Church Policy is to ensure that Erb Street Mennonite Church (ESMC) is a safe place for all people. The intent of the policies and procedures is to protect everyone within our congregation from harm including harassment, neglect and abuse, especially where there is a power imbalance. The policy also protects adults who work with these groups from false allegations, and the church from unnecessary litigation.

The full policy is available in the church office and the library.

The training slides are available here.

There is a link to the training video in the members area.

If you have any questions or comments, please direct them to our a member of the Safe Church Committee, the church office, or any council member who will make sure they get directed to the proper place.
