Background Checks

If you are not currently running background checks on your local church workers (volunteers and paid staff) you should be. The Conference Center is currently using LexisNexis (formerly known as Securint). You will need to provide either the local church's Articles of Incorporation or the 501 (c) (3) ruling from the IRS. You can obtain this paper from the General Council on Finance and Administration by calling 1-866-367-4232. If you would like more information please contact LexisNexis Account Manager, Scott Revah, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
