Suggestions on how churches and youth pastors should relate (i.e. compensation, hiing, supervision, benefits, SPRC, etc.). This document was created by the Southeastern Jurisdiction Conference Youth Coordinators. However, it is now being distributed by the General Board of Discipleship.
Several small or medium size churches cannot bear the total expense of a full-time pastor. Under certain guidelines, the annual conference temporarily subsidizes a portion of the minister’s salary with this fund. This fund also allows those churches to have the opportunity to realize their potential to be self-sustaining churches over time.

These forms are samples that can be used for a safe sanctuary policy.
The General Conference of The United Methodist Church, beginning in April 1996, adopted a resolution aimed at reducing the risk of child sexual abuse in the church. Tragically, churches have not always been safe places for children, youth, or vulnerable adults. Sexual abuse, exploitation, and ritual abuse occur in churches, large and small, urban and rural. Headlines from the last year remind us that trusted leaders can deceive other adults for years, while at the same time doing untold harm to children, youth, and vulnerable adults through sexual and/or physical abuse. With this Summary Statement, the Conference Board of Trustees of the Alabama-West Florida Conference wants to remind all United Methodists that if you are not actively protecting the children, youth, and vulnerable adults in your church, you very well may be part of the problem! If your church has not adopted a Safe Sanctuary policy or is not actively enforcing your policy, your negligence may be harming children, youth, and vulnerable adults in your church.
