safe church

We believe it is God’s heart to create a safe space for everyone to explore life and faith in Jesus, and that is what our safe policy and procedures are for.

  • Ruach Ministries is committed to providing places, services and programs that promote physical, emotional and spiritual health and safety; and model the love of Christ to all whom we have contact with, particularly children, young people and vulnerable adults.

Ruach Ministries has adopted the Safe Church Policy to:

- help us live out our biblical mandate to ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbour as yourself’ (Mark 12:30-31);

- implement the 10 Child Safe Standards (set by the Royal Commission into Institutional responses to child sexual abuse);

- provide a framework to inform the provision of safe environments and programs for children, young people and vulnerable adults; and

- meet our legal obligations in relation to:

  • - staff and volunteers engaged in Child-related Work; and

  • - reporting matters, including Child Sexual Abuse, Sexual Misconduct, and Reportable Conduct involving a Child, to government authorities.
