Why Background Screening Matters for Churches

Background screening is a critical first step in protecting your congregation—especially children, youth, and vulnerable individuals.


By verifying the history of staff and volunteers, churches can reduce risk, strengthen accountability, and build trust across every ministry area.


Comprehensive screening supports prevention efforts and reassures parents, members, and guests that safety is a priority.
