Protecting your community is a top priority. That’s why it’s crucial to find the right fit staff and volunteers to live out your mission. We help churches and religious organizations screen their staff and volunteers so you can focus on what’s important: your mission and your congregation.
As a church, you can be held legally accountable for actions taken by staff and volunteers. Performing background screening, such as criminal history and drug testing, can reduce liability and mitigate risk.
Your staff and volunteers are eager to further your mission! Screening delays can lead to a negative onboarding experience. Verified First makes it simple to quickly screen and review background checks without leaving your current church management platform.
Religious organizations that background screen send a strong message to their community — we care about protecting you. Background screening is the most reliable way to defend your vulnerable populations and your church from potential harm.

Your ministry’s mission is unique and so are your background screening needs. With so many choices, it might be hard to know where to start. Here's a list of background screening options that many churches utilize for their staff and volunteers:
Verified First is your one-stop shop for all of your background screening needs. Our custom service options allow you to build packages based on your unique needs, making us an excellent choice for church and faith-based organizations. We offer all of the screening services above and more!
Most churches and faith-based organizations screen their staff and volunteers during onboarding – and then never again. If an individual commits a crime, has a license revoked, or loses work authorization after being hired, you may never find out and your ministry may be at risk.
Continuous screening allows you to hire and retain quality talent. Rescreening current staff and volunteers can address changes that may impact their continued qualifications for an existing role.
Verified First provides direct access to records for rapid results, while maintaining FCRA compliance and PBSA Accreditation. Verified First's solution reduces data entry allowing you to place your batch rescreen order within minutes!
Our solution integrates with the church and volunteer management platforms you love so you can conduct background checks without leaving your current platform!
