This church wants to be a safe place, for children, for teens, for newcomers, for the wounded. These are the principles we commit to living. It's not a list of rules, it's a way of caring for each other.
Mutual respect
Every person who walks through our doors bears the image of God. We speak with respect, listen before we judge, and don't allow mockery, insults, or discrimination based on race, language, age, orientation, immigration status, or income.
Care for children
Children are a priority. All children's-ministry volunteers go through an intake conversation and know the basic guardrails: never one adult alone with a minor in a closed space, check-in and check-out with the parents, immediate attention to any concern. If something feels off, say so. We'll listen.
Pastoral confidentiality
What you share with a pastor stays with a pastor, except in situations that put a life or a minor's safety at risk. In those cases we follow safeguarding protocols and, where required, the authorities.
No financial pressure
No one has to give to belong here. Offerings are voluntary and never made public. The church doesn't pressure, shame, or condition belonging on money.
If you need to report something
If you've experienced or witnessed a situation that goes against these principles, abuse, harassment, misconduct by a volunteer or leader, send us a message through the contact form marked "confidential". Your message reaches only the pastoral team and the safeguarding contact. We take you seriously.
