Going to the 2019 Illinois Great Rivers Annual Conference?
Are you heading to the 2019 Illinois Great Rivers Annual Conference? If you are, we hope to see you there. Stop by our booth and say hello!
Safe Gatherings is here to serve your church and Conference needs. We are an online abuse prevention program that screens and educates staff and volunteers to help prevent abuse of children, youth and vulnerable adults. When employees and volunteers are trained about best practices when working with vulnerable populations, know the behaviors of potential abusers, recognize the signs of abuse and know how to handle reporting, they are better equipped to prevent abuse.
Upon successful completion of the Safe Gatherings application, background and reference checks, and online training program, each applicant will receive documentation of approval valid for three years, and will have continued access to the online training program for one year.
The price per applicant for the individual church program available through the Illinois Great Rivers Conference is $35 ($37 starting Sept. 1, 2019). This includes:
- Processing of two electronic references
- National and county of residence 7-year background check
- National and state of residence Sex Offender Registry check
- Applicant tracking for church administrators
- 1.5-hour online abuse prevention and boundary awareness training
Join us as we celebrate together the conference theme “Let’s Get Fired Up: Hearts Strangely Warmed by the Blaze of the Holy Spirit” in Peoria, Illinois. Visit us at the Peoria Civic Center:
- Thursday, June 6
- Friday, June 7
We look forward to speaking with you soon!
