We will be offering Part 1 of the Safe Sanctuaries Training on March 22, 2014 at the Carlisle 1st Church of God. This is an introductory training that will help your church both understand why we have to be proactive on this issue, and how to begin. The seminars run from 9-3pm, are free, and even include lunch!
