Safe Harbor

Safe Harbor, Johnson Ferry’s Abuse Protection Policy, has been in place since 2002 and serves to provide a safe, secure environment to teach and care for children, students and elderly members and ministry participants. The goal is to protect children and the elderly from abuse, molestation or any type of inappropriate behavior by employees or volunteers in the church. In addition, the policy also serves to protect employees and volunteers from false accusations. Safe Harbor requirements include:

An application to serve or work at Johnson Ferry
Signature agreement of Safe Harbor policy and guidelines
Background check on every volunteer working with minors or elders AND every employee of JF with a three year renewal.
Three character references required on every volunteer and employee
MinistrySafe Abuse Awareness Training (national program) for ALL employees

Accountability

A reporting chain of several levels is in place and documented on our SAFE HARBOR program flyer located in kiosks around the church as well as in the Employee Handbook. Johnson Ferry is a mandatory reporter to the Department of Family and Childhood Services if reasonable cause to believe child or elderly abuse has occurred. Please join us in praying for God’s protection over our church, volunteers and staff, as well as any children and senior adults that are vulnerable in our sinful world.
