Safe Church Ministry exists to be a resource to churches. Our prayer is that the Lord will work through Safe Church Ministry, helping to ensure that all of our churches are safe, with every effort taken to prevent abuse, and to respond effectively with compassion and justice where abuse has occurred. Come join with us in this important work.

Communicator: Each Fall we publish a newsletter called the Communicator that is distributed to each member in our Classis Hamilton churches.

If there is a topic that students, teachers or other organizations might benefit from, please feel free to distribute it to them.
