Participation Covenant
The congregation of University City United Methodist Church is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all children, youth, vulnerable adults, and volunteers who participate in ministries and activities sponsored by the church. The following policy statements reflect our congregation’s commitment to preserving this church as a holy place of safety and protection for all who would enter and as a place in which all people can experience the love of God through relationships with others. No adult who has been convicted of child abuse (either sexual abuse, physical abuse, or emotional abuse) should volunteer to work with children or youth in any church sponsored activity. 2. Adult survivors of child abuse need the love and support of our congregation. Any adult survivor who desires to volunteer in some capacity to work with children or youth is encouraged to discuss his/her willingness with one of our church’s ministers before accepting an assignment. 3. All adult volunteers involved with children, youth, or vulnerable adults of our church must have been members of the congregation or regularly attending for at least six months before beginning a lead volunteer assignment or referred by the Weekday School. 4.
