Safeguarding Our Churches
Sep 29, 10am - 3pm @ FBC St. Petersburg
Price - FREE
This training will discuss principles of safety and accountability in church communities as well as practices and policies of safety for our communities. We will discuss the prevalence data around abuse to children related to faith communities and topics for conversation to keep children and vulnerable people safe. The training will conclude with information on mandatory reporting and how to respond to known offenders joining or attending a church.
We believe that the safety of children is paramount to the work of Christ (Mark 9:42).
Christian Educators Conference
Feb 2 - 5 | First Baptist Curch of Raleigh, North Carolina
Join us for a conference filled with useful resources for christian education. The Christian Educators Conference is a bi-annual continuing education experience designed for CBF ministers of all ages.
Move over 90s summer! It’s time for throwback CEC! This year we’re returning to Study Hall! Roam the halls with us for a week of learning, thinking, growing, and connecting.
We’re trading algebra and biology for classes our ministers need most—technology and the spiritual formation of children, how to lead in anxious systems and through conflict, ministry resources and an end to “volun-tears,” senior adults as part of the intergenerational church, the gifts of neurodivergence, church safety and safeguarding, and how to engage youth theologically.
