Whether you’re filling a ministry position, hiring staff or placing volunteers, you want to pick the right person for the job. So when it comes to your screening and selection process, you can’t be too careful.
Background checks can help you verify that the people you employ — both paid and volunteer — are trustworthy. The most frequent background checks run by ministries are for:
-
Volunteer drivers. Look up motor vehicle record (MVR) reports.
-
Volunteer workers. Verify they have no criminal or sexual offender background.
-
Employees. Ensure their employment information is correct and they have no criminal or sexual offender background.
It’s important that you run background checks because they prove you’ve done due diligence when selecting the individuals who serve at your church or ministry. Only through the GuideStone Property and Casualty Program® can you receive these special discounts from Protect My Ministry.*
Protect My Ministry is a good choice for your background checks because they work hard to ensure their reports are accurate. If you purchase a Basic or Plus Package and it returns questionable data, they’ll run the report again (reverification) to ensure the information is accurate.
Southern Baptist churches and ministries trust GuideStone to provide the right information so they can make the right decisions for their ministries. By partnering with Protect My Ministry, we offer the tools you need to establish a well-rounded risk management program.
*GuideStone only endorses Protect My Ministry’s background check’s services. The discounts you receive are through the partner relationship established by GuideStone. However, they do offer other services, which you may purchase at full price.
