Our toll-free number is staffed by Ethico, an independent organization, providing this reporting resource free from fear of retaliation in a confidential setting, seven days a week, 24 hours a day. You do not have to give your name. The operator will give you a reference number so that you may follow-up.

To be clear, this hotline is for asking a legal, compliance, policy, or ethics question; raising a concern about integrity or ethics issues; or reporting wrongdoing or misconduct. We encourage open and honest communications of concerns and this hotline helps us uncover and address integrity and ethics issues early, while they are easier to resolve. We value the ability for open and confidential reporting.

Your report will be reviewed by an appropriate member of our staff and/or Church Council. All reports are sent to the independent chairperson of our Church Council, the independent chairperson of our Audit Committee, the independent chairperson of our Compensation Committee, and a pastor, provided, however, that, if your report alleges misconduct by a particular person, your report will not be sent to that person. For example, if you made a report about Becca, Ethico would send that report to Gerry, Jerry, Ryan and Melissa, but they would not send it to Becca.

Key principles guiding our response to misconduct

• We will continually seek Jesus’ mind and will, through His Spirit and the Word of God, in all actions and decisions related to allegations of misconduct.
  
• As Jesus said the truth will set us free, we will diligently seek the truth related to allegations of misconduct.
  
• As Jesus was always on the side of the vulnerable and the wounded, in our response to allegations of misconduct the safety and care of the alleged victims must always come first.

We also strongly encourage all reports of criminal activities to be reported to law enforcement. Please do so by calling 911.
