GLS reviews:  

There are nuggets of wisdom, at the very least, and often truck loads, in every GLS session, for those in ministry as laypeople or clergy and for those outside the faith community.  I would not spend two precious days of summer sitting inside if what I gained at the GLS didn't significantly enhance my effectiveness in ministry and community work and feed my soul!
-Meredith, Bayport
 

This will be my third year at GLS; and I'm excited because I heard a rumor that Michael Jr. is back!  Something happens to me when I'm in a room full of people, hearing talks, testimonies, and teachings specifically designed to motivate and inspire.  I laugh, I cry and I take pages of notes - not just speaker highlights.  Ideas, plans, goals, hopes and dreams flood my mind to overflowing. It's electrifying.  When I leave the summit, I want to do so much. I truly believe I can make a difference.  
-Jann, Bayport
 

Every year that I go to the GLS,  take away something that has deep impact on my personal life, my professional life, and my work within the church.  And the atmosphere of excitement and creativity are invigorating!
-Linda, Wheatley Heights

Resources for Safer Sanctuaries 

This is an important resource for your church to implement in its care and ministry to all people of all ages.

"Safer Sanctuaries: Nurturing Trust within Faith Communities" is a new and comprehensive resource that continues the tradition of Safe Sanctuaries ministry by building on the trusted policies and procedures that have guided churches over a quarter of a century. The implementation of Safer Sanctuaries enables faith communities to be empowered and flourish as they develop and implement policies and procedures that make everyone safer.
