Mission Statement: At Worthington United Methodist Church, we promise to surround children with a community of love and raise them in the faith. We are committed to providing a safe and secure environment in which children can grow and learn. We will not tolerate or ignore child abuse in our church or at church sponsored activities, we will investigate any and all allegations of abuse, and we will have a clear written procedure for responding to any of these allegations. We will educate our congregation about this policy and its procedures.
