SAFER CHURCHES | Awareness Seminar

3-Session Seminar + BONUSES

Domestic Violence is #2 cause of death for Black women, #3 cause of death for Indigenous women, and #7 cause of death for Caucasian women.

- No Visible Bruises, by Rachel Louise Snyder

Is your church as safe as you think it is?

  • Do you know the signs of an abusive relational system?
  • What are the tools of abuse that every abuser employs? 
  • What does true, biblical forgiveness look like in an abuse situation?
  • Is it possible to be able to discern who the real perpetrator is?
  • How can we effectively protect our most vulnerable members?

You'd like to think you know who the predators are in your church. You don't.

Take the first step toward your safer faith community.

Empower both leaders and members in your faith community to: 
  • Spark crucial conversations and improve community education. 
  • Understand the one core mindset every abuser shares.
  • Reject unbiblical myths about forgiveness and restoration.
  • Be aware of the tools used by every abuser, regardless of context. 
  • Discern genuine repentance.
  • Protect the vulnerable, and reflect God’s character to your church’s children. 
Host SAFER Churches at your organization or church.

When we refuse to stop someone who is harming other people, we are effectively allowing evil to grow in secrecy and silence.

- Sarah McDugal 

SAFER CHURCHES is for:

  • Leaders: clergy, elders, deacons, children's staff -- those who are responsible for creating a safe environment.  
 
  • Professionals: counselors, teachers, medical providers, attorneys, first responders --those who want to be more trauma-informed.

  • Community: parents, grandparents, volunteers -- who want to learn how to more effectively support the vulnerable.

  • Survivors: individuals or family members of those who have suffered trauma or abuse, who want to become more effective helpers.

There are four seasons of healing, and six steps to forgiveness. Do you know them?

Testimonials

Safe Churches

"An amazing resource I am going to use as a seminary teaching tool, to equip future pastors to better deal with abuse in the church."
David Sedlacek, PhD, LMSW, CFLE
Professor of Family Ministry and Discipleship, Andrews University

Myths We Believe

For such a tough, stomach-churning subject, the book is exceptionally easy to read. Very informative. Give one to your old pastor, your new pastor, and the next pastor, and all of their pastors ever!
Rhoda H.

Safe Churches

This is a MUST READ. Great Biblical perspective on how to protect the vulnerable and treat everyone like Jesus lived out in the Bible.
Rulayne Cassidy
Survivor and Advocate

Myths We Believe

A much-needed reality check. Myths is straightforward and succinct while giving readers a great first step into understanding the realities around abuse in churches. If you ever have thought, "Surely, this isn't in my church," then this is the book you need to buy.
Ryan Becker, podcaster

Safe Churches

"Thorough, compassionate, and long overdue!"

Faith communities are unwitting soft targets for abusers. This doesn't have to be YOUR church.
