Church Risk Management

Church Risk Management concerning children and youth ministry. Volunteer and employment screening information.

While most churches and ministries don’t use terms like “risk management” day-to-day, it is no less important to understand what risk management is and how to implement and maintain a risk management strategy that works.
Risk management is a strategy to reduce the risks of your people being hurt, your property getting damaged and anything else that is harmful to your ministry. Our risk management solutions enable ministries to fulfill their mission in a way that protects their people and assets, which God has entrusted to their care. We help you manage risk when it comes to personnel, property and finances.
Protect My Ministry offers a solution to manage the risk management process. Ministry Mobilizer is a paperless risk management solution that helps faith-based organizations manage risk and mobilize volunteers for ministry. Volunteers are able to apply online for ministry opportunities, which eliminates the time you spend entering applicants online, chasing volunteers for forms, updating files, storing critical documents and more.

Childrens Security Policy and Volunteer Screening

Childrens Security Policy and Volunteer Screening

Protect My Ministry is determined to join with churches and other ministry partners in avoiding, as much as possible, incidences of child abuse on our watch. To succeed in this goal, it is imperative to implement a policy that depends on two simple preventative measures: training and screening.
A ministry that serves children and youth has the obligation to exercise “due diligence” with regards to protecting its members, especially the children. By performing background checks on our volunteers your ministry is…
• Putting up a safeguard at the “doorway” of the organization that will, in most cases, scare off sexual predators.
• Offering peace of mind to discerning parents when choosing a church, by knowing your ministry is being pro-active in trying to protect the children.

Protect My Ministry offers a six-video instructional series will help you address child abuse in a way that is beneficial to your organization, compassionate to the victim, and fair to the accused. Discover methods to prevent child abuse, ways to spot abuse, and steps to take when allegations arise. The first five videos are a Preventive Guide to Dealing with Child Abuse and have an (1) accompanying workbook. The sixth video addresses The Seven Deadly Sins, a leader’s guide to dealing with Child Abuse, with (1) accompanying workbook.

Volunteer Screening and Reverification for Churches

Volunteer Screening & Re-verification

Church Background Checks through Protect My Ministry are designed to help ministries implement and maintain a thorough background screening program for employees, staff and volunteers. Preventing sexual predators and violent offenders from working with children and youth is our primary concern.
Thousands of ministries trust Protect My Ministry, a ministry background check company. One of the only background check companies that will do a free “re-verification” of records from the national criminal database for a volunteer, and to also do a “true” 50 state search on sexual offenders.

Most background screening companies charge $12 to $14 to re-verify positive records from the national database, plus additional court fees. Protect My Ministry does this for you at no additional cost, no additional court fees and gives you a guarantee of accurate results the first time.
