Background check reports and volunteer training.

Making your ministry safe is Emery & Webb's priority. We've selected Protect My Ministry to give our clients quality, cost-effective background checks and online training. They understand a church's need to provide a safe environment and work to help you get the tools to make that a reality.

$39 registration fee waived

Protect My Ministry waives registration entirely for Emery & Webb clients. Purchase as many reports as you need at pre-negotiated discounted rates, just by signing up through us.

Unlimited online training for a one-time $149

Covers as many staff and volunteers as your ministry needs, with tracking so you can verify who has completed it.

Background report packages

Two packages cover most ministries.

Plus Package

$21 + fees*
  • National criminal and sex-offender search
  • Social Security number verification
  • Address history
  • Re-verification of all national database records
  • One court search (county or statewide, plus fees)

Preferred Package

$32 + fees*
  • National criminal and sex-offender search
  • Social Security number verification
  • Address history
  • Re-verification of all national database records
  • Unlimited court search (county or statewide, plus fees, based on the last 7 years of address history)

* Mandatory court fees may apply. See the fee lists for county and statewide court searches via the "Description" links next to each service type in the online consultation.

Staff and volunteer training

Abuse-awareness training that people actually finish.

Training on abuse-related issues used to mean scheduled seminars — costly events that never reached every volunteer. Protect My Ministry's online program delivers the same important information in a format staff and volunteers can complete on their own schedule.

Emery & Webb clients get unlimited online training for a one-time charge of $149. Your church can track and verify completion for each person, which means higher participation at a lower overall cost.

Get started

Three steps to background checks and training.

Step 1

Sign up

Complete the Protect My Ministry sign-up form and choose the option that best fits your ministry. Bundle 0 includes the waived registration fee and Emery & Webb discounted report rates. Bundle 1 adds unlimited staff and volunteer online training for the one-time $149. Allow about 24 hours for account setup — you'll get a notification when reports can be ordered.

Step 2

Use the state online consultation

Once your account is active, run the Protect My Ministry online consultation tool to see which package is recommended for your state. Emery & Webb recommends choosing at least the minimum recommended package for your state.

Step 3

Order reports and set up training

Most ministries are well served by either the Plus or Preferred package. If you purchased online training, start sending links to your staff and volunteers so they can complete it on their own schedule.
