Safeguarding at Kingdom Vineyard

Safeguarding Policy Statement

At Kingdom Vineyard we commit to make sure our church is a safe place where everyone can grow in their relationships with God and one another. Our desire is for the love of Jesus to be obvious by the actions we take to protect against abuse (including neglect) towards our children and at-risk adults and it is our responsibility to respond effectively and efficiently to any cause for concern reported to us.

The full policy statement is available to read here, as agreed by the leadership of Kingdom Vineyard in 2023. If you would like more details about our safeguarding policy, please email safeguarding@kingdomvineyard.com
