This course provides an overview of changes to the North Alabama Conference Safe Sanctuaries Policy that are being proposed at the 2025 Annual Conference session. This includes steps that churches may need to take to align their policies with the updated Conference policy, as well as changes that are expected to the Model Local Church Policy.
This training is only a summary of changes, and is not a substitute for training on the full new policy either for Conference/district staff or local churches who use the Model Local Church Safe Sanctuaries Policy. Those trainings will be available following Annual Conference.
If you have questions about these changes, please contact Rev. John Fleischauer, Associate Director of Connectional Ministries and Conference Safe Sanctuaries Coordinator, at john.fleischauer@umcna.org.
