The East Central Synod of Wisconsin has strongly recommended all congregations and ministries within the Synod to have in place a policy outlining rules and requirements for those working with children, youth, and other vulnerable persons. Good Shepherd Lutheran Church desires to be a welcoming, spiritual, and safe place for all who gather with us. We are mindful that vulnerable persons may be less able to protect themselves and may be subject to abuse and harm. Therefore, we are called to provide policies which promote a safe environment. We acknowledge that there are risks in society today and we intend that our Safe Sanctuary Policy constitutes a practical plan with procedures to address those risks. We will continue to answer the Gospel’s call to minister to all, including the most vulnerable among us.
