Background screening that fits your church. Every church has different needs, different budgets, and different levels of risk they're managing—which is why one-size-fits-all screening packages often mean you're either paying for searches you don't need or missing coverage you do. SecureSearch and Pushpay work together to give you customizable background checks at prices that work for your ministry, with the personal service of a family-owned business that treats you like family, not just another account number.
Why Partner with SecureSearch?
Family-owned with personal service
As a family-owned business serving over 10,000 churches since 2006, SecureSearch assigns a dedicated team to every client. You’re not navigating an automated system or talking to a different person each time—you work with real people who get to know your church and respond to calls and emails quickly.
Customizable à la carte pricing
SecureSearch offers flexible pricing where you select only the searches your church actually needs—from basic criminal checks to deep-dive searches covering every county an applicant has lived in for the past 7 years. No mandatory packages, no monthly minimums, no being locked into searches you don’t want. Budget-conscious churches can start simple; larger churches can go comprehensive.
Sister company to Safeguard from Abuse
SecureSearch partners with Safeguard from Abuse (their sister company) to provide both background screening and child abuse prevention training from one coordinated partnership. Get comprehensive solutions without managing multiple vendors or juggling separate systems.
Features
- Deep-dive background searches
Comprehensive criminal background checks covering every county where an applicant has lived for the past 7 years, plus national databases—going deeper than basic instant searches to find records that might be missed by surface-level screening.
- Simple Pushpay integration
Order background checks directly from volunteer and staff profiles in Pushpay, with results automatically syncing back to your church management system for centralized tracking alongside attendance, giving, and involvement data.
- No setup fees or long-term contracts
Get started immediately without upfront costs, monthly minimums, or commitments that lock you in. Pay only for the screenings you actually run, giving you flexibility as your volunteer base grows or changes.
- Applicant pay options available
Offer applicants the choice to cover their own screening costs if your church budget is tight, making thorough screening accessible even for churches with limited resources.
- Continuous monitoring available
Optional continuous monitoring alerts you in real-time if someone in your system has new criminal activity reported, allowing you to respond proactively rather than waiting for periodic re-screening.
- FCRA-compliant processes
All screening follows Fair Credit Reporting Act requirements with proper authorization, electronic consent, applicant portals, and dispute processes—protecting both your church and applicants’ rights.
- Combined training through Safeguard
Access Safeguard from Abuse’s comprehensive child protection training as part of your SecureSearch partnership, providing both screening and education in one coordinated approach.
