North Canberra Baptist Church is committed to protecting the safety of all people within our programs, ministries and events. Regardless of age, gender, race, culture, disability, family or social background, everyone has equal rights to this protection. All people, including children, have the right to be respected, valued and feel emotionally, physically and spiritually safe at all times.

Please see the links below to our Safe Churches policies. We have developed these to uphold our commitment and adhere to legislative requirements as a member of the Baptist Churches of NSW & ACT.

​

These policies continue to be developed and reviewed by our church, and will be regularly updated on the website.
