2 >> Baptist Resource Network • 2019 Annual Meeting • Empowered to Go! Welcome

We’re so glad that you’ve come to Harrisburg, Pennyslvania, for the 49th Baptist Resource Network Annual Meeting!

I’m excited that we’re all gathered together in this place to celebrate 49 years as a network of churches from all across Pennsylvania and South Jersey. We have much to share and rejoice about at this meeting concerning the things that God has been doing. My main goal as your Executive Director at this gathering is to communicate these awesome things God has been doing. I hope and pray that you will be both refreshed and challenged as we spend these days together.

Our theme during this year’s gathering is “Kingdom Expansion.” We’ll be focusing in on Acts 1:8 to be challenged in becoming a people who are “empowered to go” and be witnesses to the ends of the earth in the power of God.

This year, the three general sessions will each have a theme: Empower our Hearts – Intentional Discipleship, Engage Our Neighbors – Missional Engagement, and Expand Our World – Leadership Development.

• Dr. Kevin Ezell, president of the North American Mission Board (NAMB), is our keynote speaker. Dr. Ezell provides strategic vision, direction, and leadership as NAMB works to help Southern Baptist churches send the hope of the gospel to North America. • Panel discussions on racial reconciliation, church multiplication, and millennial ministry will take place during the general sessions. These panels will show you just how far the BRN has come in the last year and what we are doing to expand the Kingdom as we move forward. • Nine breakout sessions are offered to help you grow. We’re also offering a prayerwalking experience for anyone who would like to learn how prayerwalking can be an effective way to pray for communities to come to know Christ. Please wear your walking shoes because you’ll head out into the community for this session.

My greatest desire at this meeting is to see a group of people celebrating and enjoying the uniqueness of our Christian family. This is the one time of the year that we, as God’s people, can come together and celebrate God’s work among our network of 311 churches. May God do something special to draw us closer to Him and to one another. When we close our time together, may we all be more determined to bind together to make more noise for Jesus so that He can be made more and more famous. Jesus promised us, that “if I be lifted up, I will draw people unto myself (John 12:32).” May His Kingdom be expanded!

Your Missionary to PA/SJ,

A Customized Approach Toward Healthiness

The Baptist Resource Network of PA/SJ Spiritual Health Assessment (SHA) Tool has been designed to assist the local church to measure the current status of its health as it relates to the practice of three key biblical behaviors: Missional Engagement, Intentional Discipleship, and Leadership Development. These biblical behaviors are associated with and symptomatic of growing and vibrant healthy churches. The SHA tool will help you determine a church’s present health condition as it relates to these behaviors.

If you and your church are interested in taking the SHA, email the BRN at [email protected], and we’ll connect you with a team member who can help. 11 >> Baptist Resource Network • 2019 Annual Meeting • Empowered to Go! Featured Speakers

Baptist Resource Network • 2019 Annual Meeting • Empowered to Go! >> 17 Breakout Descriptions

Note: Please refer ot the Breakout Session Notes in the Appendix

Thursday Lunch Breakout Session (10:15 a.m.-11:30 a.m.):

Discipleship or Disciple-Making, David Ludwig, Keystone D To make the greatest impact in our mission, we have to make disciples who make disciples who make disciples. In other words, we must shift our focus from making disciples to making disciple-makers. David Ludwig will share a useful framework that will enable us to shift from an addition to a multiplication mindset.

Reaching Gen Z in a Post-Christian Culture, Robert Turner & Kim Carson, Keystone C Understanding young adult and student culture is an ongoing challenge. Those of us who work with students have to continuously be students of these younger generations, as what worked in the past won’t necessarily work now and will need to be re-thought for the future. Come learn of some of the distinctives of Gen Z, the generation that is just now entering their college years.

Who’s Your One?, Rob Wilton, Keystone E Who’s your one? Imagine if every member of your church could answer that question with the name of a person. How would it change your community? We have tools to help you inspire and equip your congregation to be on mission.

Prayerwalking Experience, Michael Nerger, Keystone B We will have a short overview of what prayerwalking is and how it can be effective, followed by a nice walk into the surrounding community to pray for people to come to Christ, a potential church planter, and other prayer concerns we see along the way. Please dress accordingly and put on your walking shoes, because we are going prayerwalking!

Thursday Lunch Breakout Session (12 p.m.-1:15 p.m.):

8 Million Stories: Which Comes First – Stories or Brand? Brandon Pickett & Shannon Baker, Keystone C God has given you and your ministry unique stories of His grace and purpose. Your job is to discover your church’s storyline. How you tell the stories of your ministry directly impacts what people think and believe about your ministry. Learn how to spot those stories and tell them in a way that causes your community to stop and listen.

Ask Me Why I am Not in Church, Larry Anderson, Keystone D Based on strategies in the book of the same name, written by Pastors Larry Anderson and Kyle Canty, this training offers pastors, leaders and individuals the opportunity to be equipped in training congregations to consistently reach their context.

2019 Constitution & Bylaws Committee Report

Given at the Annual Meeting, November 7-8, 2019

Upon review of the current BRN Constitution & Bylaws from BRN legal counsel, the 2018 Constitution & Bylaws Committee worked diligently to process much needed revisions. The goal of the committee was to have a Constitution & Bylaws document that could be a foundation for the BRN for many years to come. The committee made revisions that are up-to-date with current laws concerning non-profits, revisions to streamline the BRN operations, and revisions to clearly articulate when the BRN Policies & Procedures Manual will be the guide for the BRN administrative and operational duties. It has been available through the BRN website over the last year, however, if you desire an electronic copy of the proposed Constitution & Bylaws document, refer to annual.brnunited.org.

The committee presented the proposed changes to the 2018 Executive Board, who has endorsed and are in support of the changes. Per our current Constitution & Bylaws, all changes were made known at last year’s Annual Meeting. Opportunities were given to churches to present questions over this past year.

The Committee brings a motion to approve the proposed Constitution & Bylaws as presented.

Respectfully Submitted,

Bob Conrad, Chairman Roy Andrews Phil Huggins Jennifer Idler Gerald Waters Buff McNickle, Executive Board President, Ex Officio

Statement and Encouragements to BRN Churches Regarding Abuse of Minors and Vulnerable Adults

Constitution and By-Laws: The Baptist Resource Network of Pennsylvania/South Jersey

Breakout Session Outlines

Baptist Resource Network • 2019 Annual Meeting • Empowered to Go! >> 31 STATEMENT AND ENCOURAGEMENTS TO BRN CHURCHES REGARDING ABUSE OF MINORS AND VULNERABLE ADULTS

The Baptist Resource Network of Pennsylvania/South Jersey (BRN) makes the following statement in support of the prevention of abuse and for the protection of minors and vulnerable adults. As an organization we recognize we have no authority over any church however it is our intention to encourage all churches affiliated with the BRN to be in full compliance with state law and diligently guard those whom God has given us for the purpose of ministry.

We believe that this is imperative to protect all people including minors and vulnerable adults as we work to advance the Kingdom of God. For we are all created in the image of God.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27 (ESV)

Abuse is traumatic and can cause physical, emotional, and spiritual damage that can carry through generations. Abuse can destroy family and church relationships. Churches must take affirmative steps to protect the vulnerable and care for those who have been affected by abuse. If we are to follow in the steps of Jesus and his ministry, we cannot look away from the sin of abuse and those affected.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed. Luke 4:18 (ESV)

PREVENTION/PROTECTION Churches are encouraged to develop and implement a plan to prevent abuse of minors and vulnerable adults within the ministries of the church.

1. We encourage churches to practice regular (annually at a minimum) reviews, updates, or if none exist to creating worker policies and guidelines for all staff, church leaders, and youth/children volunteers.

2. We encourage churches to take the initiative and advocate for comprehensive screening processes for all staff, church leaders, and youth/children volunteer workers to address such things as: • Establishing a system to ensure full compliance with all applicable state and federal laws. • Ensuring all background checks are completed as required by state law. • Understanding the need for a written application. • Linking to and utilizing the U. S. Department of Justice National Sex Offender Public Website posted on the Sexual Abuse Prevention page on SBC.net and to viable public databases of sexual offenders in a church or ministry setting as they may be developed. • Implementing at least a six-month rule of association/membership before service and participation begins in a ministry position. • Conducting personal interviews with applicants. • Researching prior church membership and volunteer work, especially with minors. • Conducting internet research for potential news stories containing allegations of sexual misconduct for any potential staff member or volunteer. • Discovering when and how to check references.

3. We strongly encourage churches to conduct local and national criminal background checks, and where appropriate, child abuse background clearances as required by state law for all staff, church leaders, and youth/children volunteer workers. This practice should be included as part of a plan to protect children

4. We encourage churches to implement a two-person rule of supervision. This practice, designed to protect minors from abuse and workers from accusation, calls for at least two, non-related adults who have successfully completed the screening process to supervise minors at all times, whether on or off the premises, in rooms, vehicles, or other enclosed spaces. In situations where the two-person rule is impossible or impractical, alternatives (such as a floating observer) should be considered.

5. We encourage churches to develop policies regarding digital and electronic communication. Communicating with minors, especially with youth in the digital age (text message, email, communication apps, and social media) is common among youth pastors and other staff that work with children and youth. Such policies will help set boundaries for both the adults and minors involved.

6. We encourage churches to develop policies or statements of affirmation which could include the following: • Affirming the 2000 Baptist Faith and Message with a specific reference to Article XV, or a clear statement denouncing all forms of abuse. • Requesting an endorsement of the local church for any church member asked to participate in any leadership or volunteer role in the BRN and disclosure by the church of any negative criminal/child abuse background checks about that person. • Reporting criminal sexual misconduct to the proper legal authorities as required by law. • Relieving temporarily persons accused of sexual misconduct from leadership and service positions pending a thorough investigation and review of the circumstances. • Communicating honestly and transparently with any church or association attempting to conduct a background check and disclosing information about any person accused of abuse who left before a resolution of the charge occurred.

AWARENESS/EDUCATION Churches are encouraged to proactively implement a plan to educate and raise awareness of the seriousness of abuse within the ministries of the church.

7. We encourage churches to proactively educate workers/volunteers about the seriousness of abuse and provide resources to enable a church to protect minors and vulnerable adults.

8. We encourage churches to provide or facilitate localized and ongoing training for all staff, church leaders and youth/children volunteer workers in preventing, recognizing, reporting, and dealing with abuse.

MINISTRY CARE/HEALING Churches are encouraged to proactively implement a plan to minister and care for those affected by abuse.

9. We encourage churches to work with ministry partners equipped to aid churches who experience abuse situations in handling these incidents with integrity, compassion, transparency, and in accordance with the law. These teams or external ministry partners may also seek to facilitate opportunities for on-site Christian counselors to minister to the church on a case-by-case basis.

10. We encourage churches to develop a plan for ministering to sex offenders in the church by observing such things as the following: • Understanding what the spectrum of the term “sex offender” means. • Developing procedures, which provide accountability to the offender/abuser and safeguards for all members, especially children and vulnerable adults. • Creating a covenant between the offender and church leadership that defines the boundaries of participation, allowing church leaders to apprise others in the congregation as necessary, permitting church leaders to contact probation officers and others assigned to work with the offender and state consequences if the covenant is violated, such as being prohibited from attending church or accessing church property. • Designating one or more accountability partners to assist the offender in not yielding to temptation. • Restricting any contact with minors or vulnerable adults.

Appreciation for Barry Whitworth. BRN and NAMB complement each other, we are all about being on mission. Helping to engage in ministry. Be on mission. Very best way to reach North America.

Mansion Hope Video Racial Reconciliation Panel: Larry Anderson, Kyle Canty, John Cope, Josh Crans, Hal Hopkins, Ezra Strickhouser, Joe Velarde Larry Anderson talked about the background on starting the racial reconciliation talk. Creating a culture of opening up an avenue of freedom to talk. They are hoping that what has started in Philadelphia will move through the convention. Larry is meeting with other ethnicities in Philadelphia in hopes they will also be heard. What has taken place in your heart, life, and church since you started this journey? The process to get to the solution will take walking alongside, listening, and praying together. Ask for forgiveness when necessary, standing in the gap. We will need to join in with an atmosphere of trust and ask tough questions. We are on mission, and trying to heal and progress. Not a one-off but a continuing mission. Listen and allow God to work in my own heart – John 13:35. How has your preaching changed since you have been in this group over the last 2 years? Jesus’ agenda does not lie on either political poll. Jesus’ agenda is so much more appealing than either political agenda. Listen, listen, listen – our church becomes stronger. Hope 4 Philly is a collaboration with several churches across racial lines, which is allowing the church members to reach out and go to bible studies in the other churches, to want to continue to do ministry together. How do we collectively go bring hope to an area? Go make an impact in an area.

Multiplication Panel – John Velarde, Kyle Canty, John Cope, Kevin Ezell, Cliff Jenkins, Darius Nable, Ezra Strickhouser, Rob Wilton John Cope – if we add we will never reach the world Ezra Strickhouser – holding gifts and people He gives us. Darius Nable – We are in the ministry to push out the lostness in the community Kevin Ezell – NAMB – all for Multiplication. Acts 12, The Church of Antioch sent the people out and we have to be On Mission with the mentality of sending out. Cliff Jenkins – Challenge: 75-80% of pastors don’t have a mentor. Multiplication means you are a grandparent. Your children produce children. Someone needs to pour into you and you are not alone. Kyle Canty – the church in North America believes there is no urgency and we don’t realize we are post-Christendom. We can’t continue as if nothing is wrong. Multiplication is a culture, have your childcare worker develop a new leader who can go into a new plant. Every leader in your church needs to be developing new leaders in their ministry areas. Start small. Discipleship has to be a movement. When you pour into someone, they have

2019 BRN Annual Meeting Session 2 November 7, 2019 to pour into someone else. Multiplying Church has been a challenge. But it is definitely worth it. But you will lose some of your best people. Both sadness and joy in multiplying. NAMB assists with the planter pipeline and helps you with a plan if you don’t have one. You have to have the mindset of go, not the mindset of stay. Planting won’t always be successful, but you have to keep moving, keep going. We are living a story, you think you have an idea that it’s all about you, but you realize it’s all about Jesus. Multiplication is about Kingdom, not what you are trying to build. You are investing in something so much bigger.

Racial Reconciliation; Disaster Relief; Collegiate: BRN Next; Multiplying Churches; Mobilizing Women; Expand the Kingdom and be empowered to go. Things are happening. Tune into BRN United to learn what is happening. Buff McNickle and Compassion Ministries is meeting the physical, practical, emotional and spiritual needs of the people.

Help Desk, processing grants, provide daily to assist the needs of the churches.

Thank you BRN family for providing the resources which allows the team to do what they do to help you.

Part 2 In any given moment in life you have 2 options: Step forward in growth or step back in safety. Forward is the only option because of the evangelical need around us. The decisions I make are because there are 14 million lost people in PA/SJ. We are wired to function from the methods of the past. Religious “nones” are growing rapidly in our culture. The church is exhausting itself filling its pews. Why? Because they aren’t seeing something that is experiential. 80% of religious “nones” have already tasted church life. 2 ½ churches closes its doors every day. 5 BRN churches closed their doors this year. Churches close their doors because of their failure to reach the next generation. Emphasis on that statement. 1 Sam 15:23 Sometimes we pride ourselves on being stubborn. Stay true to what we’ve always practiced. Every church needs to figure out how to pass the torch. We don’t see that many things we do are based on man-made traditions and not on Jesus. Things have to change for the sake of lost souls. What can we do to get the next generation involved? Embrace the work of sharing the gospel. We need to heed the warning that this is the reality. We need to connect with people who see that the church is irrelevant for today. Do not compromise our beliefs. Jesus isn’t the disconnect for the religious “nones,” the church and its practices is the disconnect. Churches need to live out John 1:14. J.D. Greear, “Truth without grace is fundamentalism or legalism. Grace without truth is liberalism.” We have to be balanced with both. Our current systems are perfectly designed to give us the exact outcome we are getting today. The next generation is not going to wait their turn. In many ways, things are very broken, but we have time to fix what is broken.

1. Be honest about where you are. Admit we need change. 2. Pray about God’s wisdom. The whole church, not just the pastor. 3. Do a spiritual health assessment. 4. Do something about the results of assessment. 5. After health assessment, do something before it’s too late. 6. Give it back if you can’t do anything. Pass it on, don’t let it die. Let the King have it back. Challenge: To close out our 50 years and be seriously committed to the process. This is the 10/5 Challenge. 50 churches as we complete our 50 years. 10 churches in 5 arenas to step forward and do something they haven’t done before.

2019 BRN Annual Meeting Session 2 November 7, 2019 • 10 Churches that need to be revitalized to become a healthier church. Work with Dr. Larry Anderson. • 10 Churches to step forward to start a church. Work with Cliff Jenkins or Send City Missionaries, Kyle Canty and Rob Wilton. • 10 churches to commit to expanding compassion ministry. Work with Buff McNickle. • 10 churches to be involved in Campus Ministry. Work with Robert Turner. • 10 churches becoming involved with partnership in Bogota, Colombia. Work with Barry Whitworth & David McNeill, IMB missionary in Colombia.

It’s not a cure all or medical treatment, but to inspire more churches to reach more people for Christ. We’ve got to be proactive.

We need to step up our game. Be the best we can be for Jesus. Not just in our activity for the gospel, but our witness for the gospel. How authentic we really are. The world is watching to see how we will mess up. Church autonomy is truly a gift, but it is not a license to sin. Autonomy without accountability is absurdity, it is toxic. This body, the BRN as an autonomous organization, will not tolerate any abuse towards children and vulnerable adults. Churches that have not complied with state laws for the safety of children will not be accepted for affiliation and those who are affiliated and have not complied will be removed from affiliation. We have the greatest opportunities before us. We have to reach out to future generations. Step out so we can all step up. May we be known and seen as a people full of grace and the truth of Jesus Christ. We will step forward and not back. Let’s make a difference for Him.

Carabiners were on everyone’s chairs when they entered the room. Pray with the person next to you to give you a heart to go above and beyond to reach the 14 million lost for Jesus Christ. That we can do things different to reach a lost, dying, separated generation for Christ. Prayerlink – broke up into groups to pray.

Worship – Catalyst Church It is Well – Acapella

Millennial Ministry Panel – Barry Whitworth, Steve Marfia, Alex Hanevich, Autumn Miller, Jay Francoeur, Kayla Smith, Bao Pham Misconceptions and realities: Millennials are accused of not respecting authority – misconception is that you assume authority because of your age, position, or level of learning. You need to prove that you love us and that what your say aligns with what is actually happening. Misconception is that we are lazy – we love to learn and love to have someone to learn from. We were told that we can do anything, but we need to find what we are passionate about before we will be passionate about anything. Positive ways people are impacting the world: Forcing church to ask questions and transforming the church. Watching the generation overcome barriers in gospel conversations. What does the church need to come to grip with the unchurched millennial culture? The average Millennial doesn’t understand Christian vernacular. They have no background in church. As culture gets farther away from Christ, the church creates wall that a Millennial will not step over. We need to go to them. We need to have categories of expressing the gospel to express the brokenness of sin that they can understand. Practical advice to the church today: We are young and opinionated and we like change. Love us, be patient with us. We care and we see things in a different way. Find an unchurched person and ask them what you are saying sound like to them. We need support between generations. Traditions of past cannot be used today. They are open to God, open to Jesus, just not “the church.” Missiology drives ecclesiology. Once you gain a clear vantage point of the culture you can construct an ecclesiology of the mission field. The culture of America has shifted and we live in a mission field. We’ve asked them to be the missionaries instead of being the missionaries to them. Churches close because of their failure to reach the next generation. We need to create an environment for our future.

Thank you for the trust and support given to us this past year. The staff has been productive. The BRN training center has been a great asset that has been used over 25 times this year and allows training to be accessed via the internet as well as in person. The BRN team has connected with 100% of our churches over the past year.

The Spiritual Health Assessment tool usage has doubled over the past year. 117 Evangelism and Compassion ministry grants have been given to our churches in 2019. Shannon Baker the Director of Communications is working hard to create a new website which will roll out during this Annual Meeting.

Racial reconciliation meetings have been going on around the state. More infomation on those meetings will be given during the Annual Meeting sessions. 4 Millennial Roundtable discussions have taken place throughout the state this year. BRN Women gatherings were well attended. The Send Relief center in Pittsburgh opened 4 weeks ago.

We are moving forward with remodeling the BRN Guest House and Volunteer Mission House in partnership with the North Carolina Baptists.

The Executive Board has worked hard this year to oversee all of this work. They have stepped up and met these challenges.

Statement and Encouragements to BRN Churches Regarding Abuse of Minors and Vulnerable Adults

Baptist Resource Network • 2019 Annual Meeting • Empowered to Go! >> STATEMENT AND ENCOURAGEMENTS TO BRN CHURCHES REGARDING ABUSE OF MINORS AND VULNERABLE ADULTS

The Baptist Resource Network of Pennsylvania/South Jersey (BRN) makes the following statement in support of the prevention of abuse and for the protection of minors and vulnerable adults. As an organization we recognize we have no authority over any church however it is our intention to encourage all churches affiliated with the BRN to be in full compliance with state law and diligently guard those whom God has given us for the purpose of ministry.

We believe that this is imperative to protect all people including minors and vulnerable adults as we work to advance the Kingdom of God. For we are all created in the image of God.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27 (ESV)

Abuse is traumatic and can cause physical, emotional, and spiritual damage that can carry through generations. Abuse can destroy family and church relationships. Churches must take affirmative steps to protect the vulnerable and care for those who have been affected by abuse. If we are to follow in the steps of Jesus and his ministry, we cannot look away from the sin of abuse and those affected.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed. Luke 4:18 (ESV)

PREVENTION/PROTECTION Churches are encouraged to develop and implement a plan to prevent abuse of minors and vulnerable adults within the ministries of the church.

1. We encourage churches to practice regular (annually at a minimum) reviews, updates, or if none exist to creating worker policies and guidelines for all staff, church leaders, and youth/children volunteers.

2. We encourage churches to take the initiative and advocate for comprehensive screening processes for all staff, church leaders, and youth/children volunteer workers to address such things as: • Establishing a system to ensure full compliance with all applicable state and federal laws. • Ensuring all background checks are completed as required by state law. • Understanding the need for a written application. • Linking to and utilizing the U. S. Department of Justice National Sex Offender Public Website posted on the Sexual Abuse Prevention page on SBC.net and to viable public databases of sexual offenders in a church or ministry setting as they may be developed. • Implementing at least a six-month rule of association/membership before service and participation begins in a ministry position. • Conducting personal interviews with applicants. • Researching prior church membership and volunteer work, especially with minors. • Conducting internet research for potential news stories containing allegations of sexual misconduct for any potential staff member or volunteer. • Discovering when and how to check references.

3. We strongly encourage churches to conduct local and national criminal background checks, and where appropriate, child abuse background clearances as required by state law for all staff, church leaders, and youth/children volunteer workers. This practice should be included as part of a plan to protect children

4. We encourage churches to implement a two-person rule of supervision. This practice, designed to protect minors from abuse and workers from accusation, calls for at least two, non-related adults who have successfully completed the screening process to supervise minors at all times, whether on or off the premises, in rooms, vehicles, or other enclosed spaces. In situations where the two-person rule is impossible or impractical, alternatives (such as a floating observer) should be considered.

5. We encourage churches to develop policies regarding digital and electronic communication. Communicating with minors, especially with youth in the digital age (text message, email, communication apps, and social media) is common among youth pastors and other staff that work with children and youth. Such policies will help set boundaries for both the adults and minors involved.

6. We encourage churches to develop policies or statements of affirmation which could include the following: • Affirming the 2000 Baptist aithF and Message with a specific reference to Article XV, or a clear statement denouncing all forms of abuse. • Requesting an endorsement fo the local church for any church member asked to participate in any leadership or volunteer role in the BRN and disclosure by the church of any negative criminal/child abuse background checks about that person. • Reporting criminal sexual misconduct ot the proper legal authorities as required by law. • Relieving temporarily persons accused of sexual misconduct from leadership and service positions pending a thorough investigation and review of the circumstances. • Communicating honestly and transparently with any church or association attempting to conduct a background check and disclosing information about any person accused of abuse who left before a resolution of the charge occurred.

AWARENESS/EDUCATION Churches are encouraged to proactively implement a plan to educate and raise awareness of the seriousness of abuse within the ministries of the church.

7. We encourage churches to proactively educate workers/volunteers about the seriousness of abuse and provide resources to enable a church to protect minors and vulnerable adults.

8. We encourage churches to provide or facilitate localized and ongoing training for all staff, church leaders and youth/children volunteer workers in preventing, recognizing, reporting, and dealing with abuse.

MINISTRY CARE/HEALING Churches are encouraged to proactively implement a plan to minister and care for those affected by abuse.

9. We encourage churches to work with ministry partners equipped to aid churches who experience abuse situations in handling these incidents with integrity, compassion, transparency, and in accordance with the law. These teams or external ministry partners may also seek to facilitate opportunities for on-site Christian counselors to minister to the church on a case-by-case basis.

10. We encourage churches to develop a plan for ministering to sex offenders in the church by observing such things as the following: • Understanding what the spectrum of the term “sex offender” means. • Developing procedures, which provide accountability to the offender/abuser and safeguards for all members, especially children and vulnerable adults. • Creating a ovenantc between the offender and church leadership that defines the boundaries of participation, allowing church leaders to apprise others in the congregation as necessary, permitting church leaders to contact probation officers and others assigned to work with the offender and state consequences if the covenant is violated, such as being prohibited from attending church or accessing church property. • Designating one or more accountability partners to assist the offender in not yielding to temptation. • Restricting any ontactc with minors or vulnerable adults.
