All persons working with Protected Persons (people under the age of 18 years) at Kingwood United Methodist Church must have current Safe Sanctuaries certification. The certification process consists of a Criminal History and Reference Check, reading KUMC’s Safe Sanctuaries Policy, and taking a test on the policy.  For more information about KUMC's Safe Sanctuaries Policy, contact Children's Ministries Director, Rev. Ellen Kent.

We appreciate your willingness to work with KUMC ministries. Using the links below, please complete each of the following steps to apply for Safe Sanctuaries certification:

1. Complete the online SS Criminal History and Reference Check information form (for your security, your picture ID information will not be requested online, but it will be required later). 

2. Download and read KUMC’s Safe Sanctuaries Policy manual. 

3. Take the online SS Policy Test (open book). The test can be completed in less than 15 minutes.

You will be notified by email about the results of your Safe Sanctuaries certification application.  Applying for certification can also be done on paper at the church office.
