We
place a very
high priority on the safety of every person
attending church An integral part of our greeter program,
called
H.U.G.S., is the
security portion. We utilize both roving and stationary security at all
our services. These men and women are volunteers who have
received specialized training for their tasks. If you ever
witness or experience something that makes you feel
uncomfortable during a service at TCOC, please don't hesitate to take
it to any usher, any staff person, or the Welcome
Center. Every one of these persons has received
training and will be glad to assist you. Be assured that if
it involves the safety and security of any person present, we are on
your side.
S.T.O.P.
Training - We have in place a child abuse
prevention
program designed especially for churches.
At its heart is the S.T.O.P.
(Screen, Train, Operate, Plan) program which has proved to be a very
effective deterrent to child predators Every volunteer
who desires to work with children, youth, hospitality or
security, must fill out an application, complete the
S.T.O.P. training session, and agree to a
background check. This includes
Vacation
Bible School, our
Mother's
Day Out
program, and every other TCOC-sponsored event where an adult
is in contact with children. You can rest assured
that
protection of our precious children is a very high priority.
