MESSY CHURCH, CHRISTIAN EDUCATION FOR ADULTS AND SAFE CHURCH
Messy Church
This is a fun style of worship for people in all stages of their faith journey and of any age. It involves a creative time to explore the month's biblical theme by getting messy! Messy Church meets the fourth Saturday of every month at 4pm in the church hall. All are welcome, but don't expect to watch from the sidelines... you will get messy!!
Christian Education for Adults
All are welcome to attend the opportunities for Adult Christian Education which include study groups and special speakers and take place throughout the year. Check the “Events” Calendar for current opportunities.
A Men’s Bible Study group meets every Tuesday in the parish sanctuary and all men of the Parish are welcome to attend.

Safe Church
Safe Church Training for parish employees and volunteers is an important contribution to living out our baptismal covenant to respect the dignity of every human being. The Safe Church Training Video 2023 created by the Synod Office is available online, and knowledge of it is required of church employees and volunteers: those who are in a position of leadership or authority, anyone handling money, anyone supervising or working with children or vulnerable people, anyone who has a key to the building. You can set up an appointment to watch it by contacting Karen safechurch@bc.anglican.ca You can contact the Safe Church coordinator in the parish at admin@stmarkqualicum.ca. In order to fulfill requirements, an authorized person must observe you watch the video. An opportunity for watching as a group can also be arranged. A further requirement is a Criminal Record Check with the RCMP.
The training is designed to help identify situations we need to avoid, and to organize our spaces to better protect our people.
