Spring 2026
The training is now done in 2 parts – there are online modules accessed through Praesidium followed up with a Zoom session led by the Diocesan Safe Church Officer.
Information on Praesidium, which trainings to take and which Zoom session you need is found on the diocesan Safe Church webpage.
Instructions for logging onto Praesidium, including St. Stephen’s entry code, can be found here.
The Rev. Dr. Molly Scherm is our Diocesan Safe Church Officer.
Individuals can register for Zoom sessions with the Safe Church Officer using the links provided on the Safe Church page. These sessions are provided by our diocese at no cost to the congregation.
The training schedule has not changed – those in leadership and pastoral positions should renew their certification every 3 years.
