Keep your people safe without the paperwork headache. You need to know the volunteers and staff serving in your ministry are safe to be around your community—but background checks can feel like an administrative nightmare of forms, follow-ups, and scattered information. Checkr and Pushpay work together to make background screening simple and secure, running checks right from your church management system so you can protect your people without the usual hassle.
Why integrate Checkr?
Protect your community with confidence
Running thorough background checks isn’t just about compliance—it’s about creating an environment where families feel safe and leaders can serve with peace of mind, knowing everyone has been properly screened.
Stop chasing paperwork
No more emailing PDF forms back and forth, tracking down incomplete applications, or managing background checks in a separate system. Initiate screenings, monitor progress, and access results—all within Pushpay. Checkr’s streamlined, paperless process eliminates the administrative hassle that usually comes with background screening.
Get volunteers serving faster
Background checks shouldn’t create weeks of delay between when someone wants to serve and when they can start. Checkr’s fast turnaround (typically 24-72 hours) means volunteers can get through screening quickly and begin making an impact in your ministry sooner, while you maintain thorough screening standards.
How to run background checks on Pushpay ChMS using Checkr:
1. Navigate to a volunteer’s page within Pushpay ChMS, click Actions > Order Background Check, select a specific background check package, and click Run.
2. Next, the potential volunteer receives an invitation from Checkr to complete the required authorizations and disclosures.
3. Checkr completes the background check. The status of the report will be listed in the Pushpay candidate dashboard. Once complete, click on it to open the report in the Checkr Dashboard, and review details.
