Safe Churches

Statement of Intent

Safe Ministry

At churches of Christ in NSW & ACT, our commitment to expressing the love of Christ leads to the view that all people should be able to live and work in an environment that is safe and free from abuse or harm of any kind. At Penrith Church of Christ, we continue to be on a pathway to resource all our church  with effective solutions to minimise harm, promote healthy culture and prioritise safe environments.

We partner with the NSW/ACT Baptist Churches to train and resource our churches to minimise and prevent harm. Safe Ministry Package documents found in our Documents and Forms section.

Our church of Christ ministers and chaplains are expected to be people of integrity and as such are held accountable to our Code of Conduct.
