Trainings

The Diocese of Arkansas currently offers Safeguarding God's Children online and will soon offer Safeguarding God's People online. It is Internet-based. You just log on with a high-speed Internet connection and complete your courses. Each step-by-step course ends with a brief quiz to ensure that you understand all of this important information. You’ll also have a chance to provide feedback on the course content and usability. Your church can also host a live training. Contact Randall Curtis for a list of trainers in the diocese.
