Atlantic Coast Conference is committed to providing a safe reporting process for persons directly affected by pastoral misconduct. Once the initial misconduct report has been received, an experienced, trained individual will listen to you, provide helpful resources, and walk with you through the process.
Conversations are confidential!
If you need to report misconduct you may get in touch with Conference Safety Liaison Nelson Yoder: csl@atlanticcoastconference.net
