Child Protection Training

Calling All Volunteers for Child Protection Training

Do you volunteer to work with the children or youth of St. John’s? Rotation Leader? Youth Leader? Driver of children/ youth to an event? Babysit children at St. John’s? If you answer yes to one or more of these questions than this is for you. Anyone that in even a small way touches a child’s life at St. John’s, is asked to participate in Child Protection Training. Children and Youth Ministries have partnered in purchasing the services of a company, Protect My Ministry, to support this effort. The following link has been generated for St. John’s as a secure link for just our use. When you click on the link, an application will pop up. Please fill in the application and click “submit” at the end. St. John’s will be notified of the new application. We will then instruct, Protect My Ministry to send an email inviting the applicant to complete the Child Protection Training. This training will take approximately a hour to complete. There is a video to watch in the comforts of your own home on your own computer. After viewing the six sections of the video there is twenty- five question quiz that reviews the information. At the end of the quiz, you will receive your grade and a certificate of completion! We are really hoping that we can celebrate the Christmas season knowing that all of our volunteers have been trained.

On October 11, 2010, St John’s Church Council voted and approved that all volunteers and staff will be required to complete the Child Protection Training to protect themselves but there will also be background checks to protect and keep our St. John’s children safe and always protected. This will serve as a step in making St. John’s a safe place for our children!

If there are any questions please contact Jeremy or Trisha.
