Background Checks

 Ministry Safe 

Your church or ministry must use Ministry Safe for your background checks and training. Thank you for your diligence in protecting our children, youth, and vulnerable adults.

Benefits:

  • Online applications.
  • AB506-compliant searches.
  • AB506-compliant web-based abuse prevention training.
  • Electronic data management for local churches, District offices and the Conference.

 

Ministry Safe requires church administrators to be proactive about requesting the background checks and sending out training requests until compliance is gained. The system does not automatically send reminders or notices. Ministry Safe does not handle adverse action, but instructs the church administrator on how to handle these.
