Background Checks

There are a few ways to perform background checks:

1) Your church can conduct a background check on your behalf by creating a child account with Active Screening Faith. Once completed, your church must submit a digital copy of the results to YUFC.

When registering, UPLCII serves as the parent account, while local churches function as child accounts. If your church has any questions or concerns about the process, please contact Marla Wierzel at Active Screening Faith at 1-813-467-8800.

2) SecureSearch

3) Lifeway One Source

Another option for conducting background checks is to use a third-party provider of your choice. We accept background check results from third-party providers as long as they are submitted directly to YUFC and remain current.
