Safe and Secure Plan 

   
In order to provide for a safe and secure environment for our children and youth, FBC Springfield has adopted and put into practice a set of policies to provide reasonable care and protection for our children and youth from birth through 18.  Anyone wanting to work with this age group, in any program or activity of the church, must agree to this plan and provide written information along with an application to the church.
