why is compliance training important for your church leadership?
video-based training
You can spend money hiring a trainer to come to your church and train your staff on sexual harassment and abuse conduct.
Or…you can have your team watch a pre-recorded training, saving you time and money.
training from a
christian perspective
The church is called to a higher standard. It’s called to be set-apart. You don’t just want any training, you want training that highlights your beliefs and values. We bring prayer, scripture, and real life church scenarios into the training.

What church leaders have to say about our training

WHICH STATES STANDARDS DOES OUR TRAINING MEET?
At present there are only six states that require supervisory/employee sexual harassment prevention training; California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, and New York. Our training meets the standards of each of these states’ requirements. However, it is prudent for churches and employers in all states to consider providing sexual harassment training in order to minimize liability risks due to a supervisor's inappropriate comments or because of a supervisor's failure to adequately address a harassment incident.
THE TRAINING REFERENCES A COUPLE OF POLICY SAMPLES THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE. HOW DO I ACCESS THOSE?
Anyone who completes the online course, may contact info@christiancomplianceresources.com and request these sample policies.
WHAT OTHER SERVICES DOES CHRISTIAN COMPLIANCE RESOURCES OFFER OTHER THAN TRAINING?
Christian Compliance Resources offers churches and Christian organizations, help in all areas of human resources. Many smaller organizations do not have an HR department or person on staff with the time and the expertise to adequately handle HR issues when they arise. We offer services and products to help with compliance, such as handbook creation, policy development, job descriptions and compliance audits. Christian Compliance Resources can also help with hiring, employee relations issues, investigations, communication, and conflict resolution. Finally, Christian Compliance Resources offers an on-call subscription service that provides organizations immediate counsel and advising on all HR related matters from a knowledgeable and competent HR professional. Email info@christiancomplianceresources.com for more information.
CAN WE GET A GROUP DISCOUNT?
Yes! While our price per course is already priced well below similar online courses, which can run over $100 per individual, we are still offering a $15 discount per course for groups purchasing 50 or more courses for their team. That’s only $25 per course! To purchase 50 or more courses at this price, click here!
IF I HAVE A QUESTION OR AN ISSUE ARISES, CAN I REACH OUT TO KATHLEEN?
Yes, we want to make sure you get your questions answered and any issues addressed. Kathleen will respond to all email requests. In addition, Kathleen plans on conducting Zoom meetings in which trainees/organizations can participate in group discussions and take a deeper dive into the topics presented in the training course.
IN ADDITION TO TRAINING, WHAT OTHER STEPS SHOULD WE TAKE TO SAFEGUARD OUR ORGANIZATION FROM HARASSMENT LIABILITY?
Training is a great first step. In addition, churches and Christian organizations should do the following: 1) create and communicate a Harassment Prevention policy (a sample policy is available for organizations that participate in the training); 2) establish a clear protocol/procedure for reporting, investigating, and stopping any complaint of harassment; 3) throughout the year, talk about your policy and procedures with your staff and volunteers so they know you take harassment prevention seriously; 4) be vigilant about maintaining a respectful and harassment-free environment.
