We strive to provide a fun and safe environment for all of our ministries to children and youth. In an effort to protect the children and guard them from contact with predators, the state of Pennsylvania has implemented several security checkpoints to be completed by every volunteer.
If you would like to serve in one of our ministries to minors please take a few moments and walk through the simple process to complete your clearances and submit them to the church office.

This clearance is specifically through the PA Department of Human Services Statewide database and covers any incident of child abuse.

PA State Police Background Check

Federal FBI Background Clearance
