With the passage of a resolution at Annual Conference in May 2003, all local congregations of the Oklahoma Conference have entered into a process of exploring and addressing safety issues related to ministry as they impact children, youth, and vulnerable adults. The resources here are intended to assist local leaders in this process. If you need additional help or have questions that are not answered here, call (800)231-4166 or (405)530-2144.

Effective September 1, 2011, the Conference changed to a different company - Trak-1.  Trak-1 offers local churches and the Conference many options, which we did not have in the past. 

  The following documents are in PDF file format and require the Acrobat Reader
 - a free download software program to read.
 For more information regarding Safe Sanctuary policies in the local church, contact Rev. Diana Northcutt, 405-530-2144.
