ChurchStaffing.com has partnered with a Christian company,
Secure Search™, to bring you a trusted source to conduct
thorough background checks on your staff and volunteers at
pre-negotiated low prices.
Secure Search™ primarily works with faith-based organizations across the
country and specializes in programs that effectively screen key personnel in
church and non-profit organizations. Their mission evolves around child and youth
safety while also protecting the ministries that serve them.
Why are background checks so important? What type of search
should I use for a volunteer that works with children? Is
a driving record important to search? Do I need to search
maiden names? Should I request a credit report? What level
of diligence should I conduct for each staff member and volunteer?
How do I handle the confidential information provided in
the reports? If you have any questions at all about pre-employment
or volunteer screening, please
ask!
You can use one of the consent forms provided below for
your staff and volunteers to gain their consent to perform
a background check. Secure Search will also review any existing
consent forms you are currently using for compliance.
To have a Secure Search™ representative contact you, please fill out the
on-line form below and a representative will contact you within 1 business day.

Multi-State Criminal Search with Alias and SSN Trace (Instant and Online)
Multi-State with Alias and SSN Trace is a multi-faceted search that combines our Multi-State Criminal and National Sex Offender Search with the known aliases provided from a SSN trace. With a name, date of birth and SSN, we report the state and the approximate date of issuance of the SSN. We then run the SSN through the Death Master Index. Next, we run a SSN trace to obtain a list of alias names, including maiden names. We then use this information to make a final pass through our National criminal database.

Our experience with SecureSearch has been great. Not only
are the background check reports thorough, but Steve and
his staff always make themselves available to walk through
specific reports with us or answer any questions we have.
When other churches have asked how we do our background
checks, we are always quick to recommend SecureSearch.

I have been impressed with the level of personal
attention and support given by Secure Search.
They have taken ample time to help me with questions and
have responded rapidly to questions, researching pertinent
information and conveying it to me in practical, easy to
understand terms. –Tom Bonn
University Baptist
Church, Miami FL
We are a fairly large church in Florida (about 1,700 people)
and have been working with Steve Durie and his staff since
July 2004. It has been a 100% positive experience.
Steve and his staff are extremely committed to helping
us with our background checks and safety precautions needed
to protect our church. They are very easy to work with,
will always answer any questions we have, and if I call
and have to leave a message (which doesn’t happen
very often because someone is always there to answer the
phone) I can expect an immediate call back with the answers
that I need.
The program is extremely user friendly, gives us a thorough and secure
background check, and results are instant. This program meets the
needs of our growing staff and volunteer base in every way. We feel confidant
that our church is more secure because of this program, and we would recommend
it to anyone interested in protecting their ministries. We are so glad to be
taking the necessary steps to protect the people we serve, and to be doing
it with Steve and his staff. We feel like our church is in good hands, and
we look forward to a continued partnership. Thanks for everything Steve! -Julie

Thank you so much for providing a service that is convenient
and easy to use! I am so excited to have some
background checks completed and available to me! I appreciate
your help and assistance and am so glad to have
chosen this method for background checks. It had
made my Monday!
Thank you and God Bless!

New Life Church, Colorado Springs CO
New Life Church (over 14,000 members) has had the pleasure
of doing business with Steve Durie and his team since
November, 2003. Their customer service is outstanding! Answers
to my questions are provided either when I call or quickly
thereafter. They are courteous, professional and extremely
knowledgeable not only about their product but the field
of employment/volunteer screening in general.
Since I process between 750-800 background checks every year, I really
appreciate Secure Search’s user friendly system for entering data and
their quick turnaround time for results. Also, their pricing has saved
New Life a considerable amount when compared to other companies offering the
same product. Last but not least, I am very grateful that their invoice reflects
subtotals for each of our departments – a real time saver for me!
I thoroughly recommend Secure Search for your screening
needs. You will be well taken care of and your organization
will be safer as the result. –Karen Gates, Human
