Volunteer Screening

Sterling Volunteers – Background Check and Training

Adventist Screening Verification

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. (NAD F20) (NAD ASV)

Church should be a safe place to bring our children. Everyone involved in work with children who are minors must meet all Church and legal standards and requirements. Seventh-day Adventist Church Manual, Edition 18, pp. 168-169
Why a Background Check? 

As followers of Christ serving in Seventh-day Adventist organizations throughout the North American Division, we believe it is our responsibility to nurture, protect, and provide a safe environment for the vulnerable members of our communities, including our children and youth.

For this reason, we carefully screen and train individuals serving in volunteer roles to help ensure they are trustworthy, uphold the values and mission of our Church, and are committed to providing a safe and positive environment for all children and youth participating in our ministries.
