Why does a Church need Background Checks?

Now more than ever before, due diligence is critical for churches, particularly in the care of kids & finances.  Background checks deter criminals and helps you identify predators and people who have a questionable background.  It also gives peace of mind to church leaders, members, and parents knowing that these safety measures are in place. 

Criminal Watch Dog listed this as one of the biggest legal threats for churches today – neglecting the screening of people serving in your church.  Churches that don’t run and maintain background checks are literally one lawsuit away from having their churches shut down.  The answer is simple: Background Checks.

How fast can I get results from a background check?

Typically, you will have results within 12-48 hours, which is much faster than the industry standard.

What all gets checked?

You can choose from several different options.  You can choose a simple MVR (motor vehicle record), all the way up to a deep-dive check that includes Global Watch list, SSN Validation, Sex Offender Registry, National Criminal Records, and 7 County Criminal Records.  You can setup different teams to require different types of checks.

How much does each Background Check Cost?

We offer a variety of different background checks, and the cost varies depending on what you need, starting as low as $4/each.

How do I get started?

Step 1: Go to “Admin”, click on Background Checks, and Connect your account to Checkr.  Once connected, you’ll be able to start running background checks for individuals and teams.
