The Benefits of Doing Background Checks on Church Officers

Bradford: We have some presbyteries that are already doing it and from some of the men in those presbyteries they their response was hey this is a great overture let the presbyteries put this in their standing rules. He says even if this doesn't make it through overtures or through the floor hopefully this puts it on the mind of some some individuals lawyers and in presbyteries and on church sessions to realize that there are beneficial reasons for background checks, he adds. Bradley: All the information in a background check is actually publicly available you just use a company to go into them.
