All Nazarene ministries - churches, camps, schools, missions, and more - must understand the risk of child sexual abuse and take steps to reduce that risk.
To accomplish this important task, we have associated with MinistrySafe - an entity specializing in providing the tools and trainings we need to create safe environments for children and students.

The purpose of this information is to raise abuse awareness and provide a resource for developing appropriate
guidelines and procedures for protecting minors and preventing sexual misconduct in the church.
As relevant laws vary, districts and local churches are responsible for ensuring compliance with the specific
legal requirements for their locality and situation. Nazarene Safe™ resources are made available as a
starting point only. The resources Nazarene Safe™ provides are not warranted to comply with the legal
requirements of any particular state or locale and are not intended to be used "as is" without appropriate
adaptations to ensure material compliance with applicable law. Local churches should consult their insurance
carrier and legal counsel for guidance when developing and implementing a safety plan.
