SAFEGUARDING COHORT
REGISTER NOW
Meets virtually from 3:30pm to 5:00pm (ET) on select Tuesdays,
September–November
The Safeguarding Cohort’s goal is to equip Christian educators, parents, and caregivers to thoughtfully develop safety cultures that protect children while preserving innocence, building wisdom, and fostering trust within their communities. Through collaborative learning, guided discussion, practical resources, and biblically grounded frameworks, participants will explore the unique role education plays in abuse prevention and child discipleship.
The cohort is designed to help leaders thoughtfully consider how age-appropriate safeguarding instruction can equip children with discernment, voice, confidence, and practical safety understanding in ways that are developmentally appropriate and rooted in a distinctly Christian worldview. Participants will engage with a national network of likeminded peers to explore how we can intentionally teach, model, and reinforce principles of safety, wisdom, and protection so that children are both nurtured and prepared to flourish within healthy Christian communities.
