Ministry Safe

Over a decade ago, FUMC of Arlington decided it was of utmost importance to protect children, youth, and special needs individuals from potential harm and provide a loving environment for them.

​

Additionally, to help us fulfill this obligation, a resolution was passed at the General Conference in 1996 requiring all conferences to adopt policies to safeguard children and youth. The General Board of Discipleship was charged with developing written resources for these policies, which became known as Safe Sanctuaries. 

​

Our MinistrySafe policy, background checks, and MinistrySafe training attempt to do just that for our ministries that work with children, youth, and vulnerable adults.

To volunteer with children's, youth, and special needs ministries, you must:

  • Have been an active participant at FUMC of Arlington for a minimum of six months

  • Fill out a volunteer application

  • Pass a background check

  • Read and sign our MinistrySafe policy

  • Complete the provided MinistrySafe training

​

Required forms to volunteer with the previously stated ministries

Every two years, a MinistrySafe training link is emailed to volunteers wishing to continue volunteering.

​

Please contact Betsy Spencer or our office at 817.274.2571 for more information or if you have any questions.
