Prevention starts with awareness. Child sexual abuse is preventable when the right systems are in place—but most adults working with children simply don't have the facts about how abuse happens or how to recognize warning signs. MinistrySafe and Pushpay work together to help you build a complete safety culture, equipping your entire team with sexual abuse awareness training, background screening, and the accountability systems that make protection ongoing, not just a one-time event. After a user completes Awareness Training, their Pushpay profile is automatically updated with the training score and completion date, as long as two custom fields have been created in Pushpay: “Awareness Training Score” and “Awareness Training Completion Date.” This ensures that training data remains up to date and visible to administrators within Pushpay.
Why partner with MinistrySafe?
Founded by attorneys who represented abuse victims
MinistrySafe was created by Gregory Love and Kimberlee Norris, litigation attorneys who spent decades representing abuse victims in court. Through their cases, they recognized patterns in how predators groom victims and communities—behaviors that are predictable and therefore preventable when people know what to look for.
A complete safety system, not just background checks
Background screening is important, but it’s only one piece. MinistrySafe provides the five essential elements every church needs: awareness training, skillful screening interviews, tailored policies, background checks, and ongoing monitoring—creating a culture of care where safety is systemic.
Built for churches by people who understand ministry
MinistrySafe doesn’t offer generic corporate compliance training. Their resources are designed specifically for church contexts, addressing the unique dynamics of ministry environments, volunteer relationships, and the trust communities place in their church leaders.
Features
- Sexual abuse awareness training
Equip every staff member and volunteer with online training that teaches how predators groom victims and communities, what warning signs to watch for, and how to respond appropriately—because awareness is the foundation of prevention.
- Integrated training assignment and tracking
Assign required trainings directly from Pushpay profiles, with completion dates and scores automatically syncing back to your church management system, so leadership always knows who’s compliant and who needs follow-up.
- Skillful screening interviews
Learn how to conduct effective face-to-face screening interviews with volunteer applicants, using proven questions and techniques that help identify concerning patterns or attitudes that background checks alone can’t reveal.

Develop ministry-specific safety policies tailored to your church’s structure and programs—from two-adult rules and bathroom protocols to social media guidelines and overnight event procedures.
- Monitoring and oversight systems
Establish ongoing accountability measures that ensure policies are being followed, training stays current, and your safety culture remains active rather than becoming a forgotten initiative from years past.
- Legal consultation and assessment
Access attorneys with expertise in child safety law for guidance on compliance, policy review, and response protocols—or receive a comprehensive legal assessment of your current safety measures and risk exposure.

Get tools designed for your context: children’s ministry safety guides, student ministry protocols, camp safety systems, youth sports guidelines, and resources for special needs ministry and vulnerable adult protection.
