The Village Church opened its doors on Sunday to members within the church as well as to the Huntsville community for a training designed to protect kids from child sex abuse.
Mary Anne Hunter, Director of Children’s Ministry at The Village Church, said that the church partnered with Stewards of Children for the training. The training was for members of the church who work with children, along with members outside the church who advocate for children as well.
Topics covered include recognizing child abuse, preventing it, and responding to it.
Responding the right way is key, she explained. The wrong response may cause the individual to go silent about the abuse they have experienced.
