Carefully
screening people before allowing them to work in your ministry is an
important investment in your ministry’s future. Here are a few
reasons why:
- It’s one of the best ways of protecting your church from
incidents of child sexual assault.
- It helps you avoid appointing staff or volunteers who might skim
money from church accounts.
- It allows you to select drivers for church vehicles who have safe
driving records.
- It’s a prudent step to take before allowing someone to become
a leader in your ministry. Without it, you run the
risk of having someone misrepresent his or her background.
- If you communicate that your ministry is committed to making itself
a safe haven for children, screening could become a tool that
attracts volunteers and new members.
- It also reduces your liability in court if you should accidentally
hire someone who commits a crime, because it demonstrates that
your ministry has taken reasonable care to safeguard its members.
That’s why Brotherhood Mutual encourages you to protect your ministry through screening your employees and volunteers.
