Millbrook First is a Safe Sanctuary

Millbrook First’s Safe Sanctuary Policy requires church members and others who have regular, direct contact with any “protected person” at a church sponsored event (on-site or off campus) to complete the Safe Sanctuaries certification process. Protected people are children under the age of 18 and vulnerable adults who may be unable to care for or protect themselves from significant harm or exploitation due to mental or other disability, age, or illness.

Safe Sanctuaries is a program developed by the Alabama West-Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church to screen and train staff and volunteers. Requirements include completion of an in-person training program, electronic reference checks, background checks (including county of residence), and regular re-certification. There is no cost to volunteers for background checks and Safe Sanctuary certification.
