FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is a background check for churches and ministries important?

Background checks are crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of your congregation, especially when working with vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly. They help identify potential risks by screening staff, volunteers, and clergy for criminal history, identity verification, and other relevant factors.

2. What services are included in a comprehensive church background screening package?

A comprehensive church background screening package typically includes checks for criminal history, sex offender registry status, social security number verification, and searches of national criminal databases.

3. What should be considered when it comes to ministries hiring?

When hiring for ministries, it’s important to evaluate a candidate’s fit with the organization’s mission and values, as well as their character and “soft skills,” such as friendliness and common sense. Their experience and “hard skills” should also be considered. A formal hiring process should be followed, which includes thorough interviews, reference checks, and clearly defining expectations around accountability, professional demands, and the unique responsibilities of working in a ministry environment.

4. Who should undergo background screening in a church or ministry setting?

All individuals involved in roles that require interaction with vulnerable groups should undergo background screening. This includes staff members, volunteers, teachers, camp counsellors, treasurers, and clergy.
