Book excerpt: Child Safety Guidelines for Local Churches deals with the sensitive subject of child sexual abuse and what churches can do to protect children under their care while at the same time minimizing their own liability. Prevention and training are critical elements in developing a structure that ensures the safety of children while they are in God's house. Sadly, many churches are unprepared to combat the possibility of the unthinkable happening to one of their precious little ones. By not taking reasonable precautions, they not only endanger the welfare of their youngsters, but are subject to charges of gross negligence and significant financial judgments against their congregations. The author outlines numerous steps that any congregation can take to protect both the children and churches they serve.ROGER MCNAMARA is a veteran pastor, missionary, and church planter with more than forty-six years of experience in local church ministry in Latin America and the United States.

"I was abused within a church. Despite what happened to me, I love the Church and serve it in a full-time capacity. It breaks my heart to hear and see how 'open' the Church feels to predators, but I have hope for the present and future of the Church because of Plan to Protect(R). Things are not as they used to be because sexual abuse has become acceptable to talk about, and we work hard to prevent and protect. We know what to do if allegations are made. The Church must become a safe place for the vulnerable, and this will only happen as the whole body of Christ takes action. Please, Church, protect the vulnerable and victims among us." -Rachel (pseudonym for a victim-survivor of abuse) "Plan to Protect(R) is a great witness to the love of Jesus Christ for all humanity by showing churches and other ministries how to protect the most vulnerable among us." -Rev. John Pellowe, MBA, DMin, Chief Executive Officer, Canadian Centre for Christian Charities "Churches and faith-based charities have come a long way in the past 30 years in understanding the risks and potential for abuse, molestation, bullying, and harassment within their own programs and ministries. We have been encouraged by the leaders who have spearheaded the implementation and maintenance of effective abuse prevention by holding their standards high, both for the protection of those in their care, and to reinforce their positive testimony with a message of grace, love and hope they provide to the communities they serve. Plan to Protect(R) has been instrumental in leading the way in this remarkable progress by providing effective prevention plans, valuable resources, hands-on assistance, and a "made-in-Canada" solution to safeguard Christian ministries from abuse claims. We applaud Plan to Protect(R), Melodie Bissell, and her staff for their unwavering commitment to churches and Christian ministries across Canada with this latest comprehensive and practical 2022 version of their prevention plan, and truly hope that it will continue to guide leaders for the vigilant protection of the most vulnerable." -Kenneth A. Hall, President, Robertson Hall Insurance Inc. "Plan to Protect(R) is a valuable source of important and up to date information and strategies that will assist churches and child focused organizations in providing safe and caring environments for children. Our children deserve nothing less!" -Don Hepburn, former child protection worker, Supervisor and Senior Manager with the Children's Aid Society of Toronto. (Retired)

Download or read book On This Rock written by Victor I. Vieth and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-07-19 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus was the descendant of sexually exploited women, narrowly survived a child homicide, and grew up to be the world's most prominent defender of children. Jesus reserved his harshest words for those who abused or neglected children and went so far as to say our treatment of children says everything about our view of God. Although the early church took this message to heart and distinguished itself by its treatment of children, this message has been distorted or ignored by many modern Christian leaders. As a result, the church has often failed to protect children from abuse and, in many instances, has contributed to their maltreatment. In this insightful book, Christian theologian and internationally recognized child abuse expert Victor Vieth examines the role of Jesus' life and teachings in reducing child abuse in the New Testament world. Vieth urges Christians to once again take seriously everything Jesus had to say about children. Using the teachings of Jesus as a blueprint, Vieth sets forth a proposal for church reform to prevent many cases of abuse, improve the pastoral care of survivors of abuse, and witness to the world that Christian faith shows itself in service to children.

Plan to Protect (TM) is not about what we need to do to run programs and activities, and it is not about placing a hardship on your staff and volunteers. Abuse prevention and protection of children and young people is not something we have to do, but something we have the privilege of doing. It is a privilege to create a safe environment in order to have our communities trust us with their family members. As you implement Plan to Protect (TM) your efforts are a ministry in itself to: protect children protect young people demonstrate your care for your staff and volunteers demonstrate care to parents and family members empower and nurture the healing of victim-survivors demonstrate grace, restoration and welcome to the offender that comes into your church demonstrate accountability and integrity and bring Glory to God "Children are among society's most vulnerable members, and child-serving organizations must make the protection of children a key concern. World Vision believes child protection standards are an essential tool to help safeguard children from exploitation and abuse. Then, once the standards are on paper, they must be enforced and there must be a commitment to continually examine efforts to reduce risks to children, and to heighten awareness of child protection in the community and home. Plan to Protect (TM) is a valuable tool to aid in the process." - Dave Toycen, President, World Vision Canada, Mississauga, Canada "I'm grateful to recommend this resource, carefully created by Plan to Protect (TM).

Book Synopsis The Kingdom of Children by : R. L. Stollar
Download or read book The Kingdom of Children written by R. L. Stollar and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-14 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empower the children in your faith community. Children are marginalized in our churches, dismissed into Sunday school or silenced for lengthy sermons aimed at adults. R. L. Stollar has spent his career advocating for the rights of children, and he thinks it’s time to stop talking down to children and start listening to them. In The Kingdom of Children, Stollar proposes a liberation theology of the child. Stollar begins with a theoretical framework that centers children in our theology and ecclesial life. Reframing biblical stories to center children, we can see how the binding of Isaac reflects the spiritual effects of child abuse, or how children like Miriam can serve as leaders in their communities. Using scriptural examples as well as real studies of children’s spiritual lives, Stollar asserts that children can be priests, prophets, and theologians in our communities. Each chapter concludes with activities and discussion points for introducing the book’s concepts to children. The Kingdom of Children is a must-read for youth ministers, parents, and anyone who works with children. By embracing the liberation of children, we can avoid stunting their spiritual growth and passing on trauma. And when we lift up children—truly value and learn from them—we build up the kingdom of God here in our communities.

Download or read book Keeping Your Children's Ministry on Mission written by Jared Kennedy and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2022-02-23 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical Strategies for Gospel-Centered Children's Ministry When building a children's ministry at a church, there is so much to consider: Which curriculum should we use? How many volunteers do we need? How do we keep parents in the loop? And that's before we run into stalled check-in computers, missing activity sheets, and floors that need to be vacuumed. While all of the tasks of children's ministry are important, leaders can get easily distracted with the everyday work of doing ministry and lose sight of the main focus—the gospel. Writing from personal ministry experience, Jared Kennedy shares a four-fold approach for gospel-centered, missional children's ministry: hospitality, teaching, discipleship, and mission. This practical resource covers a variety of topics ranging from creating child protection policies to putting together lesson plans to catechism, helpful for children's ministers and volunteers alike as they disciple children with the powerful message of the gospel. Applicable: Includes questions for reflection and evaluation Helps Leaders Disciple the Next Generation: Features advice for sending kids and their families on mission Ideal for Nursery–5th Grade Teachers and Leaders: A practical and helpful resource for children's ministries Published in Conjunction with the Gospel Coalition (TGC)
