Screening staff and volunteers helps you know who you're choosing to serve your congregation and ensures the safety of your church family. We recommend that a church:

• Agrees upon and sets a policy around background checks for volunteers and staff.
• Communicates this policy to the congregation.
• Requests relevant screening.
