FLAGGING BACKGROUND CHECKS
Each church is responsible to review the background checks that are run on their leaders and sponsors and make determinations regarding each person’s fitfulness for service. In order to help you as a church to make these determinations, we are providing you with a list of RED FLAG and YELLOW FLAG offenses. These lists are thorough, but not exhaustive.
