Sample Policy Pack — Children's Ministry Suite

🛡️ Child Protection Policy (excerpt)

Two-Adult Rule (Section 4.2): No adult shall be alone with a minor in any enclosed space at any church activity. At minimum two unrelated adults must be present in every nursery, classroom, and youth-room setting. A private bathroom break outside the classroom requires a second adult to remain within line-of-sight of the door. Violations are reported to the senior pastor within 24 hours and documented in the incident log retained for seven years.

💰 Financial Controls (excerpt)

Counting-Team Procedure (Section 2.1): All Sunday offering is counted by a team of at least two unrelated members, both of whom have completed the volunteer screening process and signed the confidentiality acknowledgment. Counting takes place in a locked room with no windows, no fewer than 30 minutes after the service ends, and the deposit slip is reviewed by a third party the following Monday. Dual signatures are required for any single expenditure over $1,000.

🤝 Volunteer Screening (excerpt)

Six-Month Review (Section 5.3): Every volunteer working with minors or handling cash is reviewed by their ministry leader at the six-month mark using the standard review form (downloadable from the volunteer portal). The review assesses fit for role, relationship health with congregants, and adherence to the protection and financial policies above. A second review is conducted at twelve months and annually thereafter.

FAQ

Common questions

What exactly is PolicyStack?

PolicyStack is a subscription library of vetted church policy and governance document templates — child protection, financial controls, volunteer screening, board governance, facility use, and more. Every template is editable, board-ready, and written for church-sized organizations (not Fortune 500 legalese).

Is this a subscription?

Yes. PolicyStack is $19/month — cancel anytime. Unlimited template downloads, weekly new policy drops, and version updates when regulations change are all included while your subscription is active.

How is this different from free policy templates you find online?

Free templates you find online are usually generic, outdated, and not specific to a church's actual risks — child protection, volunteer screening, financial controls. PolicyStack templates are written for church-sized organizations, kept current with state regulation changes, and paired with implementation notes that walk you through adoption with your board and insurance carrier.

Is PolicyStack included in the Ministry Stack Pass?

Yes. PolicyStack is one of the eight products included in the Ministry Stack Pass ($99/month) alongside SermonStack, SermonScribe, SermonPromote, ChordChartStack, KidsStack, ScriptureStack, and IllustrationStack. If you want two or more products from the stack, the Pass is the better value.
