Abuse Prevention in Education Environments
In educational contexts, school leaders must understand how to prevent and respond to child sexual abuse. In this Training aimed at education professionals, MinistrySafe Co-founder Gregory Love addresses sexual abuse risk arising in school contexts, equipping school leaders to better navigate this thorny but inevitable issue. Â
USED BY LUTHERANS NATIONWIDE
I appreciate the tools and resources provided by MinistrySafe to our North WI District schools. Gregory Love’s passion for keeping kids safe is self-evident, and the price point makes sense for ministries of any size to train staff members and volunteers. I hope to continue to expand the use of MinistrySafe trainings throughout our North WI District schools and churches.

We are grateful for the school resources MinistrySafe provides to increase awareness and provide training to better protect our students. As a volunteer at my children’s Lutheran school, I was able to complete the training as a parent, and it was extremely beneficial. All LCMS congregations and schools should include MinistrySafe training in the orientation of staff members and volunteers. And the individuals at MinistrySafe are great to work with… don’t hesitate to reach out to them!

I am so pleased and excited to partner with MinistrySafe to bring excellent training and resources to Lutheran schools and congregations in the Pacific Southwest District!Â
We have worked with Gregory Love and MinistrySafe for several years and have recently entered into a consortium to provide MinistrySafe’s complete Child Safety System to Pacific Southwest District Lutheran Schools.Â
MinistrySafe offers training to help our congregations and schools understand the need for sexual abuse awareness, tools to set up an effective screening process; updated policies and procedures, systems for monitoring and oversight, and access to state-of-the-art background checks.Â
MinistrySafe is well worth the investment made!

In our broken world, children are threatened on all sides. MinistrySafe helps ministries reduce this risk by thoroughly training school and ministry leaders to see the threat in our midst and recognize those seeking to use our ministries to prey on children. Few initiatives are more vital than protecting our children from these predators. The Cleveland Lutheran High School Association readily recommends MinistrySafe resources and processes for best practices to keep student safety at the front of our minds and at the center of our actions.
