safe church.

Churches of Christ in WA is committed to empowering our churches to champion a safe church culture. 

Safety and compliance is important for churches. God cares about people and expects us to look after the people and property He has entrusted to us. But it can be overwhelming. Society's expectations are high- legal regulations are increasing. What does your church need to do? CoCWAsafe helps your church navigate safety and compliance step by step.
