Child, youth and vulnerable Adult Protection Policy

We are committed to the protection of all who enter our care and other persons participating in the activities and programs of First Presbyterian. As part of our congregation's baptismal vows, we covenant with each other to take responsibility for the nurture of faith. As such, the members of this church have pledged to uphold one another. In the spirit of Christ we teach, strengthen, and support the individual's relationship within the church family. As our baptismal vows imply, we also undertake to preserve the integrity of each person within our church family. First Presbyterian Church is committed to the sanctity of all. A well-implemented policy protects all of those working, volunteering and learning in the church. This Policy covers any person employed by or volunteering at First Presbyterian Church in any capacity involving children, youth and vulnerable adults and all outside organizations using First Presbyterian facilities for child programs.
