Safe Ministry at Providence Midland

We seek to make all of our ministries and events at Providence Midland safe, whether big or small, formal or informal. Our practices are shaped by our safe ministry policy. Our team leaders guide their teams in safe ministry practices as they go about serving together.

Safe Ministry Training
As part of creating a safe environment, we ask all our volunteers and leaders to complete online Safe Ministry training as they start serving. This training equips them to go about their ministry for their own safety and the safety of those they serve. This training is provided by Safe Ministry Check and is renewed regularly.

Working with Children Check
All volunteers serving kids (0-18) at Providence Midland are required to have a current Working with Children Check, as required by WA legislation.

Volunteer National Police Certificate
We require leaders and some of our volunteers to apply for Volunteer National Police Checks. We do this to ensure the people who bear responsibility in our community are suitable for those roles.

Covenants
Finally, we ask our volunteers to commit to our service covenant. It includes our commitment to pray, care for and equip them as they serve, and their commitment to serve the Lord Jesus humbly and faithfully, in dependence on him.

For volunteers who are leading teams, or teaching God’s word there’s the leadership covenant. Similar to the service covenant, it also calls on them to be faithful with God’s word, and careful with his people as they lead them.
