Safe Church

Our Leadership Team is committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for everyone who engages with us. To do so, we have developed several policies and guidelines which direct interactions, activities, and programs; especially those which involve young or vulnerable people.

The bottom of this page provides access to the most recent versions of our policies. Please feel free to contact the Leadership Team if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions.

Safe Church Team

Our Safe Church Team plays a key role in ensuring that Southern Church is and remains a community and space that is safe for people to come and explore the person of Jesus. The Safe Church Team consists of Jackie Williams, Sandra Ford (Lead), and Scott Rainey (pictured below L to R). If you have questions, concerns, or reports about any person associated with Southern Church, please contact the Safe Church Team. They can be contacted confidentially at [email protected]
