The Winchester Cumberland Presbyterian Church, located in Winchester, TN remains committed to providing and maintaining a safe and nurturing environment for all adults (18 and older), children, and youth under the age of 18 while in its care during events which are sponsored or co-sponsored by the church. This page is for our volunteers who need to complete our training and a background check so that they are able to lead our children and/or youth. 

The congregation of the Winchester Cumberland Presbyterian Church is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all children, youth, vulnerable adults, workers, and volunteers who participate in ministries and activities sponsored by the church. The following policy statements reflect our congregation's commitment to preserving this church as a holy place of safety and protection for all who would enter and as a place in which all people can experience the love of God through relationships with others.
