Make My Church Safe: A Guide to the Best Practices to Protect Children and Secure Your Congregation from Harm
Ebook
A concise guide to the best practices in making your church safe for members and attendees of all ages.
Every church should be a safe space for everyone who comes in. Every church should also be equipping people to confront the powers of darkness and help those in trouble. Unfortunately, far too many churches are unsafe internally, which leaves them unprepared to confront external dangers. An unsafe church creates a toxic environment that works against the gospel. A safe church is battle-ready to combat the worst of the world’s problems. Make My Church Safe by respected pastor, Sam Rainer, is designed to be a brief and general overview of the best practices regarding church safety for a broad audience.
In the book, you’ll learn:
- how to recognize the telltale signs of abuse
- how to set up a system for training volunteers
- how to provide true accountability for leaders and pastors
- how to move forward after a moral failure occurs
- the ten nonnegotiable rules of safety around children and students
In this immensely practical book, Sam Rainer answers both the “why” and the “how” of making your church a safe place for the most vulnerable in your care. Make My Church Safe provides specific policies and procedures that every church leader can implement—chapters 5 and 6 alone are worth the entire book! I hope every pastor and seminary student will read this timely and crucial work.
If there is anything a church should be, it’s safe. However, media reports of sexual abuse, financial misappropriation, and failures of leadership are an everyday occurrence. How can ministry leaders make sure that their church doesn’t make the nightly news? Sam Rainer gives readers practical and timely advice for how to make sure their faith community protects every person who enters their doors.
Make My Church Safe is a great and necessary resource for church leaders. This book goes beyond protecting churches from school shooters and sexual predators to enable church leaders to understand the reality of spiritual warfare, the inevitability of “Black Swan” events, the importance of securing the church campus, and the protection and equipping of children in a dangerous world. Rainer also emphasizes that church safety is every member’s responsibility, and a Kingdom-first mindset. I highly recommend this resource for churches and church leaders.
Every pastor I know wants to make their church a safe place for kids. The problem is that pastors often don’t know how. Protecting children from potential harm requires a strategy and a plan. This book provides practical biblical guidance to help churches and Christian leaders start in the right direction.
