Mandatory Coach/Volunteer Screening Process
After you fill your sport's season's touchpoint link, you will be contacted by Prestonwood if you need to do anything for your background check or ministry safe.
At Prestonwood Baptist Church, we are committed to creating a safe environment, free from abuse of any kind. Therefore, we require all staff members and volunteers to be approved through a two-step process:
- Background check (annual requirement)
- Sexual Abuse Awareness Training (required every two years)
The volunteer screening process requires each volunteer to complete the Ministry Safe Sexual Abuse Awareness Training. This training is required every two years and includes video sessions followed by a 25-question quiz. This training is good for all sports and ministries of our church for two years. After you register as a coach, if this training is not current, or if you are a new coach, you will receive an e-mail from Prestonwood that will include a link to the training.
For questions regarding background information, please contact your league director.
