Security

KUMC in its Safe Sanctuary Policy vows to take seriously the importance of providing a safe environment where all people can participate freely and safely in the life of the church.  It is our intention to maintain a sanctuary or "safe place" for all to grow in faith and maturity.

In order to fulfill those objectives, the church participates fully in the Safe Sanctuary Program initiated by the United Methodist Church.  Anyone wishing to volunteer in KUMC Children's Programs, Ignite Youth Ministry, or the Children's Music Program will be required to complete a background check and meet specific guidelines as outlined by the policy.
