About MinistryDefender Solutions

Here’s why we think so highly of the work MinistryDefender is doing: They are trusted by national organizations and local nonprofits alike, and they share our heart for proactively protecting ministries to reduce risk within their organizations.

MinistryDefender is led by founder Mike McCarty and a core team of retired Secret Service, pastors and other church leaders, police officers, skilled IT developers, and more. The core team uses decades of experience to develop programs that focus on connecting red flags and mitigating risk—two areas that are of critical importance to us. We have worked with MinistryDefender for the past decade and exclusively recommend them for background screenings for staff and volunteers.
