The LCMS Office of National Mission and the Michigan District take the safety of children seriously. That’s why we are partnering with MinistrySafe to better educate and equip the workers in our congregations and schools to recognize the signs of child sexual abuse and to better understand the tendencies of child predators — all at no cost to our congregations and schools. You can immediately roll out the MinistrySafe Sexual Abuse Awareness program among your staff. Their resources and training are free to our ministries across Synod through the end of the 24/25 school year.
We want every staff person in every congregation and school in the district to commit to helping protect the children and ministries entrusted to your care. To learn more about MinistrySafe, watch a short video at ministrysafe.com/the-risk/. You can also learn more about our partnership with MinistrySafe at https://ministrysafe.com/lcms/
