Safety & Trust
OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFETY AND TRUST
At Asbury United Methodist Church, we believe a spiritual home must first be a sanctuary. We are dedicated to creating an environment where everyone—especially children, youth, and vulnerable adults—can worship and grow in absolute peace and security.
A CULTURE OF PROTECTION
We don’t just talk about safety; we practice it through our Safe Sanctuaries policy. This includes:
- Thorough Screening: Mandatory background checks for all staff and volunteers.
- Specialized Training: Ongoing safety education for those in leadership positions.
- Clear Oversight: Strict procedural guidelines to ensure our church remains a refuge for all.
BUILDING TRUST THROUGH INTEGRITY
Trust is the foundation of our church family. We earn that trust every day by prioritizing:
- Transparency: Open communication regarding church leadership and the stewardship of our resources.
- Accountability: Maintaining high standards of integrity in every program we offer.
- Mutual Respect: Creating a "brave space" where people feel secure enough to be vulnerable and authentic.
A SACRED COVENANT
Our commitment to your well-being is a reflection of God’s protective love. When you walk through our doors, our goal is for you to feel the peace of a community that values your safety as much as your spiritual journey. We are dedicated to maintaining the boundaries and practices that keep our fellowship sacred and secure.
