With the implementation of the amendments to the Pennsylvania Child Protective Services Law, Pennsylvania nonprofit organizations must ensure that all employees and volunteers who have responsibility and direct contact with children (defined as the care, supervision, guidance or control of children or routine interaction) are in compliance with background reporting and training requirements.  Based on this requirement and to ensure the safety of the children of this church, all  of the church leadership, employees, and volunteers working directly with children have the following clearances: PA Child Abuse History Clearance, PA Criminal Background Check, and if applicable, a FBI Background Check.
