Why This Directory Exists

Many people are searching for a church they can trust.

The Safe Church Project exists to rebuild trust in the Church by creating visible pathways to spiritually safe, trauma-informed, gospel-centered communities — rooted in truth, dignity, and love.

Many people are seeking churches that follow Jesus faithfully without coercion, fear, or dehumanization. This directory exists to help individuals and families locate communities committed to spiritual safety, accountable leadership, and the inherent dignity of every person created in the Image of God.

Every church listed here has completed Sanctuary Certified™ — the Safe Church Project’s trauma-informed training and certification — and affirms the Alignment Statement, demonstrating in evidence, not only intention, a commitment to accountability, safety, and Christ-centered witness.
