NEO has a Ministry Safe account that district churches can utilize, working with our District Ministry Safe Coordinator, Beckie Richburg. Ministry Safe charges $8 for each training.

To enroll a worker, email the District Office (neokdistrict@neokdistrict.com). Beckie Richburg will contact you and set your workers up in the district account. You will need to send a check to Collinsville Church of the Nazarene (1118 W. Broadway St., Collinsville, OK, 74021-2311) to cover the training expense. An email link to the training videos will be sent to the workers. They complete the training, take a quiz and get a certificate showing completion of the training (which is also emailed to Beckie). The worker can send the certificate to their church leadership. The training certificate is good for 3 years on the NEO District.
