Vet Your New Candidate Well

As a church, you need to conduct background checks to ensure the safety of vulnerable members. These checks reduce legal risks, meet insurance requirements, and comply with regulations. They also help maintain trust and protect the your church’s reputation by demonstrating a commitment to safety and accountability. Additionally, background checks ensure that staff and volunteers are qualified and trustworthy, fostering a safe and secure community environment.

To help you properly vet new ministry candidates and staff, First Coast Churches has partnered with Vigilant Ministry Partners to offer Free and Discounted background checks for any new Lead Pastor, Associate Pastor, or Ministry Staff member. These background checks go beyond the standard by offering local information vs. national or state only.  If you would like to request a background check you may do so at the link below. All requests are subject to approval by FCC leadership.
