What does “Safe Church” mean?

As the news is flooded with the history of abuse and cover-ups in the Southern Baptist Church, and as we know about a similar history in the Catholic Church, it is important to know that Brookside Community Church UCC is commited to being a safe place for all people, especially children and vulnerable adults.

To that end, we background check individuals who work with our children, have systems in place to minimize opportunities to cause harm, and should there be an allegation of misconduct, have a plan of action. The below document outlines the principles and standards that we adhere to. If you have questions about Safe Church, please contact Pastor Nicolette or Kim M. who oversees Safe Church.


Please talk to Pastor Nicolette or Moderator Sally P. if you are interested in helping in any of these areas.


An updated task list will be available the week before.

In our Hearts, In our Prayers:

The prayers shared aloud on Sunday morning*

The lonely, the isolated, the anxious, the fearful

The sick, the dying, the grieving

Students, teachers, administrators

All who continue to be impacted by Covid-19

The people of Ukraine, Russia, Afghanistan, and all who live in places of uncertainty and violence

Our leaders, our communities, our nation

*Prayers shared on Sunday morning are NOT published here, except by explicit request. If you would like a prayer included in @Brookside, please email office@brooksidechurch.org
