Safe Sanctuary

Since 2009, every local church in the Baltimore-Washington Conference has been required to develop and implement a Safe Sanctuaries Policy. This plan must be reviewed and updated periodically. To view all articles on Safe Sanctuaries, visit the BWC Ministry Toolbox. RUMC is committed to ensuring that all children, youth and vulnerable adults involved in church ministries may participate in an environment that is safe and secure. As part of the Safe Sanctuary Policy, a Background Check and Sexual Misconduct Questionnaire MUST also be completed and turned in to the church office.

FOR VOLUNTEERS:  Safe Sanctuaries training is required for all staff and volunteers working with children and/or youth at RUMC.
