Child Protection Policy
First Presbyterian Church is conscientiously protective of children and youth in our care. Students are our most important responsibility and joy in the faith. The following is our policy and practices procedure.
1. All employees, and those adult volunteers involved with any activity involving a minor are required to sign a release form which the church will keep on file that allows the church to request a criminal background check.
2. All volunteers must be involved with the church for at least six months before they are allowed in any volunteer position involving contact with minors.
3. No minor should be alone with only one adult on church premises or in any church-sponsored activity, unless in a counseling situation.
