TRBA Encourages Background Checks

AT THE VERY LEAST, the local church should develop a policy to do sex offender background checks  on ALL persons that work with children and youth!  Click on the image to the left to go to the National Sex Offender Registry and get a free check.  

Tar River Baptist Association encourages churches to do more detailed background checks as well.  TRBA is set up to do low cost background checks that are more detailed.  You may contact us at 919-496-7172 or via email at pauline@tarriverbaptist.com if you would like additional information.
