Core services

Every service uses the same FCRA-compliant workflow and the same national data sources. Pick the workflow that matches your role — the pricing model doesn’t change.

Church background checks

FCRA-compliant screening for clergy, deacons, staff, camp workers, and board members. National criminal database, sex offender registry, and role-specific add-ons like MVR and credit.

How it works

One workflow. Every role. No annual fee.

Whether you’re screening a Sunday school volunteer or a school principal, the process is the same four steps.

1

Invite the candidate

Send a screening invite by email or share a self-service link. The candidate completes FCRA disclosure and authorization on their phone in under 5 minutes.

2

We run the check

National criminal database, sex offender registry, SSN trace, and any role-specific add-ons run in parallel. Median turnaround is 2.3 days across all services.

3

Review the report

Admins see a clean, color-coded report in the dashboard. Clear/Consider/Escalate flags speed up decisions without replacing your judgment.

4

File the record

Downloadable PDF for your personnel file, audit-ready log of every screening decision, and re-run reminders on your denominational cadence.

Why ministries choose us

No annual membership

Every dollar goes toward a check that protects your congregation — not a $199 annual fee that renews whether you screen or not.

Disclosure, authorization, adverse action, and pre-adverse action letters are baked in. Your board and your insurance carrier both stay happy.

Denominational-partner ready

Reports formatted for Safe Environment programs, ACSI, and diocesan requirements. Your policy admin doesn’t do double data entry.

2.3-day average turnaround

National average across all three services. Priority searches available for hires and camp volunteers on tight deadlines.

Services FAQ

Can we run all three services from one account?

Yes. Every Ministry Facts account can run church, school, and volunteer checks side by side. Billing consolidates onto one invoice, and admins get a single dashboard for all three.
No. There is no annual membership fee. You pay only for the checks you run. Volume discounts kick in automatically after your first 25 checks in a rolling year.
Yes. Our report format has been reviewed against the requirements of the largest Protestant denominations and Catholic diocesan Safe Environment programs. If your denomination needs a specific field or attestation, tell us and we’ll add it.
Median turnaround across all three services is 2.3 business days. Priority searches are available for time-sensitive hires and camp volunteers.
Our workflow generates pre-adverse action and adverse action letters automatically, with a documented dispute window that keeps you FCRA-compliant. You still make every hiring or volunteer decision — we just make it easy to document.
