As followers of Christ serving in Seventh-day Adventist organizations across the North American Division, we have a sacred responsibility to nurture and protect the vulnerable members of our communities — especially our children and youth.
As part of this effort, those over 18 who are voted to serve within our churches or organizations, and those who are employed by the church and working with children and youth, are asked to complete a criminal background check (FB 20) and child protection training through Sterling Volunteers. This should be completed every three years. You may begin, or renew, your screening using the links to the right. Thank you for your service and participation in this process.
