The General Convention is the governing body of The Episcopal Church. Every three years it meets as a bicameral legislature that includes the House of Deputies and the House of Bishops, composed of deputies and bishops from each diocese.

Trainers fill an important role in the diocese and in your organization because they alone are qualified to lead an in-person or virtual training for adults seeking certification in Safeguarding God’s Children (SGC) or in Safeguarding God’s People (SGP). Your training skills and knowledge of the material and diocesan policies provide a foundation for safe ministry practices throughout the diocese.
