Background Checks

Providing ministry in a safe environment should be easier thanks to a relationship established by the Mississippi Conference with Trak-1 Technologies.

The conference and Trak-1 are working together to provide thorough, low-cost background checks to every church and church-related agency within the annual conference. 

For as low as $9 per person, the church will have the availability to run a multi-state criminal and sexual offender search plus a Social Security trace which will verify the person's identity. For a slight increase in price a motor vehicles check can also be run to inform the church of the driving record of those transporting persons within a congregation and community. 

Below are the service agreement and covenants of service. Simply fill out the service agreement (page 1 of the document) and fax it to Trak-1. Upon receipt, churches will be given the information needed to begin running background checks. In accordance with federal and state laws, a written consent is needed to run a background check on any person, whether for the purposes of employment or volunteer service. Download the consent form below.
