Safety and Security
The safety and well-being of our children, families, and visitors are of utmost importance to us. All One Way volunteers have undergone thorough background checks and have been approved to work with children. To ensure a secure environment, we have cameras in all areas where children are present, along with safety patrols actively monitoring the hallways and stationed in our church lobbies during services and events.
Additionally, our team includes volunteers who are trained and certified to administer first-aid care and are ready to respond to any first-aid needs. We are committed to providing a safe and welcoming space for everyone who enters our doors.
