FAQs
Q: Why should we screen volunteers if we already know them personally?
A: Familiarity doesn’t replace accountability. Screening protects both your volunteers and your congregation by confirming trust through verification. It’s not about suspicion—it’s about stewardship and responsibility.
Q: How often should volunteers be re-screened?
A: Best practice is every 12 to 24 months, depending on the role and level of access. Re-screening ensures information stays current and demonstrates your ministry’s ongoing commitment to safety and care.
Q: What information is needed to run a background check?
A: Typically, you’ll need the volunteer’s full name, date of birth, social security number, current address, and signed authorization. All data should be collected securely through encrypted, electronic form, try to avoid stored paper files.
Q: Are background checks required by law for church volunteers?
A: Requirements vary by state, especially for those working with children, youth, or vulnerable adults. Even when not legally required, consistent screening helps meet insurance expectations and reduces ministry liability.
Q: How long does a background check take?
A: Most checks are completed within 24 to 72 hours, depending on the search types and jurisdictions involved. Ministries can easily plan ahead for onboarding or seasonal events without unnecessary delays.
