Our ambition as a church is to “tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders that he has done” (Psalm 78:4). We desire our church to be a place of safety and blessing for children (birth to age 18), where they can grow, form friendships, and learn to experience and share the love of Christ. Yet in a fallen world we cannot assume that “inside” the church is safe. Therefore, we must protect our children—in every aspect of our life together—from threats like false doctrine as well as harm and abuse. While we cannot guarantee that harm will never happen to children at The North Church, we are committed to taking reasonable steps to reduce risk and protect them. Our desire is to cultivate a culture not of fear, but one that is proactive and protective, prioritizing our children’s wellbeing.
