Safe Sanctuaries

Safe Sanctuaries As a way of providing assistance to churches needing guidance in conducting background checks for volunteers or employees, the Iowa United Methodist Conference has worked out an agreement with The Safe Churches Project - a national and statewide criminal history records check service.  Churches that are members of the Iowa Conference may contact www.safechurches.com or call Dale Shaffer (214.360.9159) or email him at dale@criminalbackground.com with Safe Churches.  

Identify your church as a member of the Iowa Annual Conference and Dale will send you all the appropriate paperwork to get started.  Churches will receive a lower rate than what is listed on their website so you will want to be sure to tell him you are part of the Iowa Annual Conference.
