40. Creating a Culture of Safety in Kids Ministry with Kris Buckman
We’ve all heard the phrase “stranger danger”, but the sobering truth is that nearly 90% of child abuse cases involve someone the child already knows and trusts. As ministry leaders, it’s our sacred responsibility to ensure that the church is a safe place for every child who walks through the doors.
In this episode of Kids Ministry Calling, host Jana Magruder is joined by Kris Buckman for a timely and practical conversation on abuse prevention in kids ministry. Kris shares her own ministry journey and offers valuable insights into:
- Why training, screening, and effective policies are essential safeguards
- How to build and implement a clear response plan for potential incidents
- The vital role volunteers play in creating a safe environment
- How to engage and equip youth volunteers for sensitive situations
Whether you’re a seasoned leader or new to kids ministry, this episode will encourage and equip you to strengthen safety measures in your church and create an environment where children can truly flourish.
Listen now and discover practical steps you can take to protect kids and empower your team.
