Does Security Really Matter in Your Children’s Ministry?

Here is a video clip from the news sent to me by Dale Hudson. Check it out and let me know what you think. What are you doing to keep kids safe at your church? Leave a comment to respond.

Sorry … this video is no longer online. It was a news story about the attempted kidnapping of a child at church.

In the video, you’ll hear the story of how an adult male tried to kidnap a 9 year-old girl during church services. The tragedy was avoided thanks to a church volunteer and the girls quick thinking. HT
This raises again the importance of having a solid check-in procedure and making kids safety a top priority at your church.

Hi Tony
I wasn’t able to open the video either. In Australia anyone working with children has to have a Police check every 2 years and we get issued with a Blue Card which we have to carry with us at all times in case we’re ever asked for it.
Unfortunately it wouldn’t stop anyone from just coming in and ‘kid napping’ a child, but we try to keep an eye on them especially when they’re outdoors.

Hey Tony,
Just wanted you to know that the video for this page “Does security really matter..” does not play and the link to “solid check in procedure” does not go to the right page.
Thanks!
