Background Checks

Training Instructions & Background Checks to work with our Children

Screening Verification

Why a background check?

"Church should be a safe place to bring children. Everyone involved in work with children who are minors must meet all Church and legal standards and requirements" (Church Manual, Ed 18, pp 168-169).

Who has to do it?

As part of this effort, those over 18 who are to serve within our church ministries that will be working with children and youth, are asked to complete a criminal background check (FB 20) and child protection training through Sterling Volunteers. This process will need to be completed every 3 years.
