Youth Protection Core Training
(3/30/17)
Recorded in Effingham, IL
January 2017
Community of Christ is committed to ensuring a safe environment for all persons, especially including the most vulnerable: children. With congregations around the globe, our desire is to ensure that all persons are welcome and accepted, in safety.
In order to help address that goal, we require that everyone who works with children and youth in our congregation’s ministries & activities, at Mission Center level events, and at World Church level events, be a Registered Youth Worker. We also require that all ministers within Community of Christ be Registered Youth Workers.
Whenever possible, we recommend and suggest that you attend a Youth Worker Core Training session in-person, where you can best benefit from the interaction with others, ask questions, and explore options and answers in community.
The following resources are available for review, and when an in-person training class is not available for you.
