Safe Sanctuaries

We seek to educate families and churches about how to respond with love to youth in our churches and our world. This response includes affirming the value and sacred worth of all youth, maintaining safe spaces for young people that comply with safe sanctuary policies of the United Methodist Church of Greater New Jersey demonstrating respect for youth; and advocating for the needs and rights of youth in our churches and in our world. We vow, as churches and people of faith, to bear witness to the value of each and every life by not remaining silent when this value is questioned or dehumanized. We categorically oppose the practices of human trafficking and slavery in all its forms.
