In order to better equip believers, pastors, church volunteers, and churches - we have added this page which has training developed by the IMB for mission teams, along with articles on screening and practices churches should employee to keep everyone safe from abuse. It is equally important for and can be used by anyone in any church or small group gathering. It is highly recommended that your church have policies and practices which protect each soul the Lord has led to be part of your fellowship.
The SBC offers many resources here SBC Church Resources for Sex Abuse Prevention
