why do we want to be ministry-safe?

At Eastside we value every person as somebody created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) and believe that adults and children alike should be treated and cared for in a way that reflects the value God has created each person with. For this reason, we are committed to providing a safe environment for every child attending one of our Eastside ministries. We believe that child safety is not simply a legal requirement but a reflection of the Gospel.
