Children’s Ministry Clearances

Serve our kids by keeping them safe.

Thank you for your interest in Children’s Ministry! To start volunteering, you must be cleared in three ways. When you attain each clearance, please send a scanned copy to Sheyna Land at sheyna@ironworkschurch.org.

1) Child Abuse Clearance: You’ll need your previous addresses and names of people you have lived with going back to 1975. Processing time is 2-4 weeks; final clearance arrives through mail.

2) PA State Police Clearance: Clearance processes instantaneously in the form of a PDF. Cost is free for volunteers.

3) Volunteer Affidavit*: If you have been a Pennsylvania resident for 10 or more continuous years, print and complete this affidavit.

*Note: If your Pennsylvania residency was interrupted for any amount of time in the past ten 10 years, you must attain the FBI Fingerprint Clearance in lieu of the volunteer affidavit. Cost is about $28, and there’s often a long wait time, so it’s helpful to schedule your appointment as soon as you can. You can often get in earlier at the King of Prussia & Norristown locations. Be sure to use the service code 1KG6ZJ when making your appointment.
