Stories from St. John's

Background checks and/or online training are required for council members, staff, and volunteers per St. John’s policies and for State law compliance. There is specific training and background checks required for specific roles. For example, council members, staff, and some volunteers are required to have a Live Scan background check while other volunteers are required to have a different level background check.

For volunteers, it depends on the role that will be played. A volunteer role that requires frequent contact with youth (a person 18 yrs. or younger) will require a more stringent set of requirements, while working in Altar Guild requires a less stringent set

of requirements. All background checks and training are ordered by the Executive Director of Administration. Those in charge of specific ministry areas must contact Linda Baldwin when a new volunteer is recruited. The training/checks are then ordered, and the volunteer completes them electronically. The results are usually back within one or two weeks, sometimes sooner.

As St. John’s becomes more volunteer/servant leader led, it will be important for recruiters to have this information prior to scheduling for service. For questions, please contact Linda Baldwin at linda.baldwin@stjohnslc.org, or 916-444-0874.
