Safe Church
Our Safe Church commitment.
Safe Church is an expression of our love for every person God has placed in our care.
HOME Church is committed to providing safe, welcoming, and Christ-centred environments for all — particularly children and young people. We uphold the NSW Child Safe Standards and meet all obligations as an affiliated church of the Baptist Association of NSW & ACT (BANSWACT).
Every adult who works with children holds a current Working With Children Check (WWCC). We screen our volunteers, provide induction and training, and have a clear process for raising and responding to concerns.
