Helpful Questions to Get Started

titleWhy are we doing this again when we took the same courses last year?

Reliant is committed to fostering a safe and healthy ministry environment for employees and for those to whom they minister. Therefore, it is beneficial for us all to be trained and educated on regular basis on best practices around child safety and workplace harassment and discrimination prevention, two areas that are essential for creating safe ministry and work environments. It also gives you a chance to review the policies that are related to these topics. Plus, some states require annual training on workplace harassment and this ensures that we are compliant with those state laws. 

The Sexual Harassment and Discrimination Prevention course by Telios Teaches has been updated for 2021 with new content. The Abuse Awareness training by MinistrySafe is the same course that you took in 2020, but it is such a vital topic for churches and ministries today that the information that is covered in the course must remain top of mind for anyone who works with children, youth, young adults, or any vulnerable population.

titleWhich course do I take? How long will it take?

The Sexual Harassment and Discrimination Prevention Course you complete is dependent on your supervisory or staff level: 

  1. Preventing Sexual Harassment & Discrimination in the Christian Workplace (length: 1.5 hours): Take this course if you do not have anyone reporting to you OR are not at a staff level of Pastor, Minister, Manager, or Director.
  2. Quelling Misconduct: Sexual Harassment Prevention for Managers (length: 2.5 hours): Take this course if you supervise other Reliant staff OR are at a staff level of Pastor, Minister, Manager, or Director. 

All employees must take the Abuse Awareness Course (length 1.5 hours).

  • For 2021, the Skillful Screening Course (length: 2.25 hours) is optional. This course may be helpful to you if you oversee a children's or youth ministry or if you are involved in interviews or the hiring process for staff or volunteers. If you would like to take the course and do not see it on your MinistrySafe home page, email learning@reliant.org.

For most staff, the training will take about 3 hours. For staff in supervisory or leadership roles, the training will take about 4 hours. All of the courses can be taken at the user's own pace and they do not have to be completed in one sitting. Here's more detailed information about the Required Education Courses.

titleI completed the courses as part of my New Staff Training with Reliant. Do I need to take them again?

If you attended New Staff Training (NST) since January 2021 and completed the courses, you do not need to take them as part of the Annual Required Education for existing staff. All Reliant Staff that attended NST prior to January 2021 will need to complete them again as part of the Annual Required Education.
