Need to Renew Your Safe Sanctuary / Volunteer Clearances?

Need to Renew Your Safe Sanctuary / Volunteer Clearances?

Do you need to renew your clearances with the church? Things may have changed a little since the last time you did your clearances, as we now ask all volunteers to complete the clearances and Safe Sanctuary training as it makes managing the Safe Sanctuary program much more efficient.

Here are the steps, the original printouts of each must be provided to Michele Kassees

  • Verify that you have reviewed the Safe Sanctuary Policy this year by clicking here. This will update your information in the church database.
  • Go to https://epatch.pa.gov
    • Click on the yellow “New Record Check” button for volunteers (Safari users on Mac or iPad/iPhone may need to use Chrome)
    • Complete the new record.
    • Email it or print it for Michele Kasees
  • Go to https://www.compass.state.pa.us/cwis/public/home
    • Create an individual account as a volunteer, sub purpose of “Other: Religious Organization”
    • Email or print the results and bring it to Michele Kasees
  • Lastly, FBI background check and fingerprints or a letter

If you have additional questions, contact our Welcome Director, Michele Kassees.
