St. John's Tower Grove  Church is committed to the protection, safety and well-being of our parishioners and newcomers. We take suspected abuse, neglect or exploitation of persons very seriously. Our vestry has adopted the Diocesan Safe Church policies. Our leaders, from the priest and vestry to our Peace Meal team, adhere to these policies, and recertify through trainings every 2-3 years. All mandated reporters are required to contact the state’s child protective services.
 In all cases, we urge immediate action including notifying our rector, our senior or junior warden, or one of our vestry members.More information can be found at the following links:
