The protection and safety of our children is of utmost importance to us. To that end, Dayspring Christian Fellowship went through an in-depth process of evaluation, assessment, and training with the GRACE Safeguarding Initiative and received certification in 2019. A Child Protection Committee was established, which is responsible to ensure that the Child Protection Policy is followed, and the necessary elements to keep it updated and relevant are followed.
