Abuse Prevention and Response
To protect the witness of Christ and the safety of people in CNBC churches, we have compiled resources to help the CNBC family of churches take proactive steps in preventing abuse. In the case abuse occurs, these resources can help provide a proper response that meets both biblical and legal requirements. The information provided below is intended as a resource and should not be viewed as legal advice.
