All churches in the NC Conference are to have a Safe Sanctuaries policy in place. Should your church need assistance with educating your church members on Safe Sanctuaries best practices, the district can send a trainer to your church to conduct the training (60min onsite session) or provide your church with the materials to conduct its own training. For more info or to schedule a training session at your church, e-mail the District Office (districts@nccumc.org) and you will be connected with the Assistant to your District Superintendent.
BACKGROUND CHECKS
The conference’s background check service provider is a company called Trak-1 (http://trak-1.com/). The prices are affordable and the turnaround time is short.
To Set Up An Account Clergy – To set up an account for your church, just call the New Accounts Representative at 1-800-600-8999 ext. 3431 and tell them that you are with the NC Conference of the UMC and that you would like to set up an account for your church. That way you will get the same discounted pricing that our conference gets. They will walk you through the application. It can usually be done in one day and you can submit your first background check request the same day.
