Safe Church Health Checkup
Baptist churches of NSW & ACT are committed to modelling the love of Christ by promoting physical, emotional and spiritual safety in all that we do.
As part of this commitment Belconnen Baptist Church Inc, trading as Mosaic Baptist has participated in the Safe Church Health Check.
The Safe Church Health Check is a comprehensive tool which assesses our church’s Safe Church Practices against identified minimum standards for compliance with various legal obligations. We hope to promote a culture that reflects the love of Christ, loves and protects individuals and fosters missional engagement with our local community.
