TRAINING- BWCUMC WEBINARS
Keeping Children and Youth Safe – Webinars
 In our continued call and commitment to serving children and youth
through equipping leaders, this series of webinars were recorded for
use in annual conferences, districts, and congregations of the United
Methodist Church to support the reduction of risk of abuse in the
Church. It is the hope that these webinars will be used in group
settings for new and revitalizing congregations.
