WheatFields’ Report Card on Church Safety

In Fletch’s book, Predators—The Case of the Church Embezzler, uses a fictional case study of WheatFields Good News Church. Executive Pastor Dan Black created a report card to evaluate how the church is doing in the area of risk management. As you can see below, each area is scored from zero to ten. WheatFields gets a low average grade of 2.0. This signifies that the church has a great amount of remedial work to do.
