Abuse Prevention & Response Training for Ministry Leaders
About this Event:
Churches are called to be places of safety, healing, and hope—especially for children, youth, and other vulnerable people in our care. Tragically, abuse can and does occur in ministry settings when safeguards are weak or missing.
This half-day training will help pastors and ministry leaders understand what abuse is, how it impacts individuals and church communities, and how your church can put wise safeguards and response plans in place. Together we’ll learn from practitioners in abuse prevention, law, and law enforcement, and we’ll highlight resources available through the SBC’s Abuse Prevention & Response work.
Who’s Invited?:
- Senior/lead pastors and elders
- Executive pastors, administrators, and office managers
- Nursery, children’s, youth, and college ministry leaders
- Special needs ministry leaders
- Biblical counselors and care ministry team members
- Any church leader involved in screening, training, or supervising volunteers and staff

April 30, 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. CDT
