Child Protection

Community of Christ's mission statement is: We proclaim Jesus Christ and promote communities of joy, hope, love, and peace.  The ministry of child protection ensures the safety of children in our care, justice for abusers (perpetrators), and the building of communities of blessing.

In this context our mission is to share the peace of Jesus Christ in all dimensions, acknowledging each person's worth and dignity.
