SUMMARY:ECAP ACCREDITATION PREVIEW
DESCRIPTION:FREE event in Grand Rapids\, MI! \n\n\n\nChild Protection and Abuse Prevention: Learn the basics of child protection measures for your child/youth serving ministry from child safety expert\, Jeremy Herron. From governance\, screening\, training\, operations\, and response – your ministry is on the leading edge of protecting the vulnerable. How can you take reasonable measures to keep kids safe and know how to respond if/when abuse is reported?  \n\n\n\nJeremy will share insights for your ministry that he helped develop and implement at his church in Texas. Tap into the resources you need to create a safe place for kids to hear the gospel and grow in discipleship. Explore how ECAP membership and accreditation can help you and your ministry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJeremy Herron was part of the expert panel that created the ECAP Child Safety Standards and is a member of the ECAP Council. He is also the director of Providence Kids at Providence Church in Frisco\, Texas. Using the experience he gained from years of reshaping and leading kids ministries\, Jeremy began to see that his impact on local churches could have a broader reach and the passion for keeping children safe could be instilled at ministries across the nation. Over time\, these conversations developed into Fortified Consulting to create a more formal approach to see every church\, school and ministry be stronger and safer for the children and youth in these programs.

There are many myths associated with human trafficking and those myths distract us from what is really happening to our children right under our noses.  Every day in almost every city in America children are being sold for sex and we can stop it. In this session you will learn what human trafficking looks like in our country and what our response should be. You  We will cover ways to protect children and wrap around those in our communities with specific vulnerabilities.

After more than two decades as a family counselor\, Julie Lowe has seen how important it is to help parents and caregivers think wisely and biblically about the dangers children face. Instead of living in fear or denial\, parents and caregivers can equip children to assess people and situations and model for them how to live by faith in a world where evil exists. \n\n\n\nLowe helps parents and caregivers teach the safety skills that will help protect their children from mistreatment\, unsafe situations\, violence\, bullying\, cyber-crimes\, predatory behavior\, sexting\, abuse\, and other kinds of danger that they might encounter. The safety skills that are needed at every stage—preschool\, elementary-age\, teens\, and college-bound—are discussed and applied in an age-appropriate way. \n\n\n\nSafeguards provides tools\, skills\, and resources to help when faced with uncomfortable\, challenging\, or dangerous situations. Instead of growing more anxious\, parents and caregivers can grow in a biblical understanding of the type of dangers and issues children and young people might face\, learn how to instill confidence and conviction in responding to new or fearful situations\, and distinguish safe vs. unsafe people and situations.

SUMMARY:Meet the Experts: Ron Aguiar on Church Safety
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, many churches and ministries have recognized the need for security teams to help ensure the safety of their worship services. These teams help keep a safe perimeter so that those who have gathered to worship don’t have to worry about threats of violence or intimidation while at church. But do ministry leaders have the same mindset towards the most vulnerable in their programs?  \n\n\n\nRon Aguiar\, Founder and CEO of Oasis Safety\, will join us on Meet the Experts to discuss how security teams can help protect the children that are a part of a church’s programming. With more than 30 years of experience in private security\, law enforcement\, and church security\, he is able to relate and respond to just about any security-related situation a church or para church organization would face. He has helped hundreds of churches across the country in setting up and improving their safety and security programs\, which focus on subjects such as child abuse prevention\, and active shooter response training. \n\n\n\nAbout our Expert\n\n\n\nRon Aguiar is considered an expert in church safety and security.

He has partnered with organizations such as the Kentucky Baptist Convention\, Church Mutual Insurance Company\, and the Louisville Metro Police Department to deliver training where representatives from hundreds of churches have been educated on ways to increase safety for their members. \n\n\n\nIn 2019\, Aguiar released the second edition of his book “Keeping Your Church Safe” in hopes of educating churches across the globe about scenarios that could possibly take place in their buildings and among their members and how to prevent and/or react accordingly.
