------------------------------------------

The safety of the children and workers in our ministry is a high priority. It is important that Child Evangelism Fellowship take steps to protect the children to whom we minister and protect our workers from false accusations.

​

In accordance with the Child Protection Policy of Child Evangelism Fellowship Inc., all volunteers and paid staff are required to undergo a national criminal background check, social security trace, and address trace. The background screening form will ask a series of questions that include your personal information, a brief testimony, and references.​​

​

Additionally, each school district has additional requirements for their school and/or county.  Please complete the instructions for screening for the county the school you will be serving in is located.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
​

IS THE SCREENING FORM SECURE?

Absolutely. We partner with Protect My Ministry, a volunteer screening service, that partners with churches and organizations throughout the USA. Child Evangelism Fellowship has a national partnership with PMM and is the primary source for all ministry background checks. Their site uses a TLS1.2 256-bit encryption process that prevents your personal information from ending up in the wrong hands. 

​

WHY DO YOU NEED MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER?

Our Child Protection Policy requires that at minimum we conduct a National Criminal Database search, National Sex Offender Registry search, Statewide check for Addresses (within last 5 years), and a SSN Address History trace. Don't worry, our staff cannot see your SSN and it is not viewable on any digital documents when reviewing your results. Because this is a requirement, failure to offer SSN will prevent you from being able to complete the form which disqualifies you from being able to volunteer. 

​

WHAT IF SOMETHING APPEARS ON MY RECORD?

This doesn't automatically disqualify you from serving. We will review all results on a case by case basis with you. In some cases, exemptions can be granted. Any sex crimes or crimes against children will not be granted exemption.
