Employment

Background Checks

In order to be in compliance with Safe Church and employment best practices, a background check may be required. As of May 2022, ECMN has updated standards to more closely align with Safe Church policy and run more detailed background checks related to an applicant's prospective role.

Please use this revised Informed Consent Form. Please do not use an old form.

Churches will be invoiced for the cost of the background check. Background checks are role-related. A simple background check will likely run $11. A more complex background, including education verification and credit check, can exceed $60. When running more complex background checks, costs can be contained by working with ECMN to ensure that we are only checking for pertinent information. For example, if a job finalist for a bookkeeping position has a B.A. in Accounting, there is no need to verify an Associate's Degree in English.
