Safe Sanctuary Policy
Throughout scripture God calls us to care for those who are vulnerable. The Safe Sanctuary Policy helps insure we are doing that at First Lutheran. The Executive Committee and Church Council have approved this policy for working with and protecting our children, youth and vulnerable adults. This policy includes requirements for supervision of children, not only by staff and volunteers, but also by families. All of these changes are for the safety and protection of our most vulnerable.
