New Children and Youth Protection Policy 

God embraces children with love and gives their nurture and care into our hands. We believe that Pine Street Church (PSC) is called to provide a safe, loving, and secure environment for the children and youth who come here to participate in our community of faith.  

To this end, a new Pine Street Church Children and Youth Protection Policy has been drafted and will soon be adopted by the Council of Ministries (CoM); the church's governing body. 

In so doing, we hope to demonstrate our absolute and unwavering commitment to the physical safety and spiritual growth of the children and youth of PSC in an environment where their spiritual growth can be nurtured. 

Before the full adoption of The Policy, and over the next two weeks (until Thursday, September 6), the CoM is asking for congregational input that might include edits or additional provisions to be added to the policy draft. You can review the policy draft HERE. 

Please contact any member from your CoM to submit your suggestions and edits.
