Ministry Safe

To ensure the local church remains a place to allow people to make disciples of Jesus Christ who worship passionately, love extravagantly, and witness boldly, it is vital that the safety and protection of children, youth, and vulnerable adults be a top priority for every congregation within the Global Methodist Church. By partnering with MinistrySafe, the Global Methodist Church reaffirms its commitment to fostering safe, nurturing environments for all its members.
Utilization of MinistrySafe affords GM Church congregations access to invaluable resources at NO COST. The cost for access has been paid by the general church. These resources include a comprehensive safety system that incorporates awareness training, a library of videos and print resources, policies and procedures, and monitoring and oversight. In addition, conferences and churches have access to background checks performed by an industry leader at reduced prices

We accomplish this through a variety of offerings including camps, retreats, online resources, coaching/consulting and mission opportunities to help people reconnect with Christ. Check us out at revivetexas.org to learn more about who we are, what we do and what we believe.
