Statement of Policy

Boiling Springs UMC is committed to providing an environment that is as safe as possible for children, youth and vulnerable adults who attend the church or any church sponsored program or activities.

Children and youth are defined as minors under the age of 18. Vulnerable Adults are defined as a person 18 years of age or older who has a physical or mental condition which substantially impairs the person from adequately providing for his or her own care.  The Safe Sanctuary Policy is a comprehensive effort for the benefit of the entire BSUMC congregation and to all visitors and participants in our programs and events.

Every staff member and volunteer will be expected to conduct his/her duties with strict adherence to the guidelines outlined within this policy.

The policy will be maintained and updated by the Safe Sanctuary Ministry Team, who will also be responsible for conducting training and compliance audits.
