Each person that works with Child Evangelism Fellowship must complete a background check. After the background check is completed, each worker will receive a name badge.

•  Background checks need to be redone every 5 years.

• A background check costs $15 per person, but it is covered by the CEF chapter. However, if you wish to take care of this expense, please make a check to CEF of Greater Canton and send the check to our local office (CEF of Greater Canton, 1900 Wales Rd. Massillon, OH 44646) with a note indicating that this amount is for a background check.

• After you have submitted your background check, you are good to go for service, unless you receive a call from us for further clarification. Welcome to the CEF Family!
