Sexual Misconduct Reporting and Response Resources

If this is a life-threatening emergency or you are reporting a crime, please immediately call 911. If you are reporting child abuse or maltreatment, please immediately contact local law enforcement and/or your state agency for child and family services.

If this is a life-threatening emergency or you are reporting a crime, please immediately call 911 in the United States, Canada, and all five U.S. territories or your local emergency number. If you are reporting child abuse or maltreatment, please immediately contact local law enforcement and/or your state agency for child and family services. Search your state, territory, or tribal laws related to child abuse prevention and reporting regulations here (childwelfare.gov).

For HPBC Churches Outside the United States:

While most of the principles and procedures outlined on this page apply to all HPBC-affiliated churches regardless of location, please note that the phone numbers and email contacts listed are specifically for churches within the United States. Hawaii Pacific Baptist Churches in Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, and other international locations may still contact Dr. Robert Miller at robert@hpbaptist.net, and he will seek to help connect you with appropriate local resources and authorities in your country, as legal requirements and reporting procedures vary by nation.
