Background Checks and Training

Making your ministry safe is Emery & Webb’s priority.  To that end we have selected Protect My Ministry to give our clients quality, cost-effective, background checks as well as online training solutions .  Protect My Ministry understands a church’s need for providing a safe environment and works to assist you in obtaining some of the tools to make that a reality.

Protect My Ministry has agreed to completely waive the registration fee of $39 for Emery & Webb clients.  As an added value, Emery & Webb clients will receive 2 Free Basic Package Background checks to help them get started in creating a safer ministry.  Your ministry can then purchase as many background check reports as you need, at pre-negotiated discounted rates, just by signing up through Emery & Webb.

Protect My Ministry is also offering Emery & Webb clients unlimited online training for a one time charge of $149.  This includes online training for as many staff and volunteers needed by the church.  The online format allows each person to view and complete it on their schedule and also allows the church the ability to track and verify when each person has completed it.  The result is a higher participation rate from your staff and volunteers at a lower overall cost to the church.

Background Report Packages

* Mandatory court fees may apply. Please refer to the fee lists for County Court Searches and Statewide Court Searches by clicking on the “Description” links next to each service type in the online consultation.

Staff and Volunteer Online Training

Protect My Ministry also offers a cost effective online training program for your staff and volunteers.  In the past, training on abuse related issues could require scheduled seminars and turn into costly events which that did not always reach every volunteer.  Protect My Ministry offers online training which supplies the important information staff and volunteers need regarding abuse issues and that can be viewed in a way that meets their schedule.  Emery & Webb clients are able to access  unlimited online training for a one time charge of $149.

Step 2: Utilize the State Online Consultation:

Once your account is set up use the Online Consultation tool from Protect My Ministry to help determine what background package is recommended for your state.  Emery & Webb recommends that the minimum recommended package for your state be chosen by your ministry.

Step 3: Order Reports and/or Set up Online Training:

Once your account is set up decide which report you want to order. Most churches needs are met through either the Basic or Plus Package.  If you have chosen to purchase online training you can begin to send out the links to your staff so that they can begin their training.
