Safety Statement to Members and Visitors

Regarding those convicted of a Crime or Sexual Offense

As a church who seeks to offer love, compassion and forgiveness to our members and to our community, we at Hillcrest Church of Christ know that at times there may be individuals attend our services or become members of our congregation who have been convicted of a crime, including sexual offenses, by the judicial system of our country.

Please know that your elders welcome individuals with such a history to Hillcrest and with a spirit of love and forgiveness, desire the individual(s) to be an active part of our church and its activities. However, to ensure that the individual(s), other church members and visitors to Hillcrest are safe, secure and confident in their roles and activities at Hillcrest, certain guidelines and procedures for the involvement of these individuals in Hillcrest activities will be put in place. These guidelines and procedures will be strictly followed and adhered to as much as is humanly possible within the authority and responsibility of the elders of Hillcrest Church of Christ.

If you desire more information regarding this topic, please contact the elders.
