THE EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF TEXAS POLICY
Safeguarding God’s Children is a training program for the prevention of sexual abuse of children and youth. The program provides participants information they need to protect the children they know and care for in their personal lives and in the ministries in which they serve. If every adult can protect just one child, they will forever change one life. If we can all change one life, together we will make a difference in this generation of children.
The Diocese of Texas requires all who are employed by the congregation, all who work for the Diocese and its institutions, and all who work or volunteer with children and youth to take this training from a diocesan-certified trainer. Diocesan certificates will be issued upon completion of the course. Also required: a criminal background check, an application form, references and reference check
THE NURSERY
Our newly refurbished nursery provides an opportunity for church members to interact with children up to three years old. Rocking chairs, a mechanized swing, appropriate books, toys, and activities are available. The nursery is open from 9:15 a.m. - 11:15 a.m. on Sundays.
CHILDREN’S CHURCH
Children’s Church is the Christian Formation component for children ages four through ten. It meets from 10:00 a.m. to the ‘Passing of the Peace’ at the 10:30 a.m. Rite II service. The ending time varies according to the service in progress. Children are brought to the service at the Peace. Volunteer teachers are always needed and welcome.
