SAFE SANTUARIES

Resources

Safe Sanctuaries Training Videos
There are two versions of Safe Sanctuaries Training Videos available on the Portico Online Learning Platform – in English and in Spanish. For more information about Portico, courses available, or to log in or create an account, use the link above or the link in the sidebar to the right. These videos are great resources for individuals for training, or they can be streamed for a group to view together. The videos are broken into chapters, leaving space to stop for questions and discussion. Also included is a quiz to check the viewers comprehension of the materials.

Safe Sanctuaries Facilitators
East Ohio Conference has several trained Safe Sanctuaries Facilitators who are able to go to churches throughout the conference to answer questions and help guide churches in their Safe Sanctuaries Policy, Procedures and Guidelines. Contact Rev. Gary Jones at (330) 499-3972 ext. 120 or gary@eocumc.com to schedule some time with a Safe Sanctuaries Facilitator.
