Join us for our monthly AZCSN Lunch and Learn. This event is open to all church leadership and safety / security team members.
This month we will focus on mandatory reporting.
Arizona law requires certain people, including Sunday School teachers and others working with children and youth in the church, regardless of whether they are financially compensated, to report suspected abuse (ARS §13-3620.A). You may be a child’s only advocate at the time you report the possibility of abuse or neglect. Children often tell a person with whom they feel safe about abuse or neglect.
Learn about the requirements for mandatory reporting. The protection given to reporters through Arizona State Law and the importance of following through with the reporting process.
AZCSN meets the first Thursday of the month at Church for the Nations in Phoenix. Our monthly meetings include an opportunity to meet and fellowship with other safety and security ministry volunteers, a training session on a different topic each month, and time to share updates and questions about church safety.
This month we will focus on Sex Offenders in the Church.
Our Churches are places for connecting people to Jesus Christ. We are a place for messy people and a place for people to find faith and exercise faith in worshiping and gathering at our campuses. We are also a place of mercy and restoration. With that being said we also have a responsibility to protect all who come to worship from those who attend that are sex offenders. This course will help assist your churches in providing that protection.
Discussion will include:
Do we have to let them attend our church?
Do we have a biblical duty to accommodate offenders?
Can we restrict what services they attend?
Do we communicate to our congregation that we have offenders on campus?
How do we know they’re here?

We will identify the prevalence of DV in the country and specifically churches in the US. We will discuss ways we can increase awareness, formulate policies and procedures while respecting individuals privacy and protecting the church’s members and staff. The course includes discussion of the potential responses to domestic violence incidents occurring at churches and schools.
A two-day, 20-hour immersion course in rules of engagement for armed law-abiding private citizens, emphasizing legal issues, tactical issues, and aftermath management. Topics will include interacting with suspects, witnesses, responding police officers…threat recognition and mind-set…management of social and psychological aftermath after having had to use lethal force in defense of self or others…and preparing beforehand for legal repercussions and minimizing exposure to them.
