Welcome NorthStar Church Network
Become a Member with ECAP and get the support you need to establish an effective Child Protection Program.
The Evangelical Council for Abuse Prevention was created in 2019 to provide awareness, accreditation, and resources to help Christian organizations that serve kids protect the vulnerable in ministry.
Over several years, ECAP developed a set of Child Safety Standards which were drafted by an committee of experts and reviewed by a team of attorneys with related professional experience. These standards now serve as the basis for our Accreditation Program. ECAP awards accreditation to ministries that demonstrate compliance to Child Safety Standards through an assessment and audit process.
ECAP Memberships are designed to serve and support organizations that want to tap into resources from ECAP or our Affiliates. Membership can aid ministries in working toward compliance and accreditation at their own pace.
ECAP is partnering with NorthStar Network churches to help them make their ministries safe for kids.
