Volunteer and Safe Sanctuary Forms and Policies

Safe Sanctuaries is a policy Fayetteville First UMC has in place to protect our children, youth, volunteer servants, staff and church. 

Prior to working with children and youth, the church requires that both volunteers and paid employees complete our Safe Sanctuaries Training.  This process is detailed below and includes (among other things) a volunteer application and background check, in-person and/or online training, and acknowledgement and understanding of the child abuse prevention policy.

To work with children, youth or vulnerable adults follow this step-by-step procedure.

Contact Rev. Allyson Lawrence at alawrence@fayettevillefirst.com with any questions regarding our Safe Sanctuaries Policy and Procedures.
