CHURCH SECURITY AND SAFETY TEAM TRAINING

Yes, we offer some very diverse options for Church Safety and Church Security training to address a variety of security concerns. We have more training options than any other company of our kind.

This is a legitimate question. We answer it like this. As a house of worship and a body of believers, a church provides spiritual comfort and guidance, as well as moral support but there is also a focus on meeting the physical needs of its members and guests. Part of those physical needs are the need to be able to come to a safe place. A sanctuary. A sanctuary is defined as "a place of refuge or safety". If your church is planning on meeting the needs of members and guests, physical safety is of paramount importance.

Nehemiah 4:9 talks about the importance of physical safety "And we prayed to our God and set a guard as a protection against them day and night.".

Absolutely. There is a big part to play for ushers and greeters and others who are on the front lines. These are the people who get the first look at everyone coming into the buildings on your campus. Training them and integrating them into your overall church security plan is very important.

Yes. We train both armed teams and unarmed teams. Most security teams we train are composed of both.

We provide scenario training for church safety and security teams. Depending on what your training goals are, we can do simulations and scenarios. This generally involves role players and your team members. Generally, we need to have some time training your team to a minimum level of proficiency before you jump into scenario based training. It is best described as a crawl, walk, run, run faster type of methodology.

We provide active shooter, active killer, mass casualty training to churches and other organizations. We believe early detection and defense in depth are important segments of training. A church needs more than just offense. A complete picture includes education of team members, congregants, and staff; honest evaluation of facilities and team members' abilities, and realistic goals that include more than minimum standards and checking boxes.

We provide informational seminars as well as hands on training to enable your church to be better equipped to deal with a man made or natural disaster.

We have training teams that mobilize and can come to you for whatever kind of training you require to meet your goals. Depending on the type of training, we might need you to provide facilities and perhaps some passive role players. Check our Hosting Page for more information.

We do training events all over Arkansas and surrounding states. Some of our events are private and not open to non-team members of those organizations. As teams get better trained, it's not unusual for us to build training to suit their skill level. We provide a lot of onsite training that is specific to the facilities or campuses that a team expects to operate in.

We do have some open to the public events for for to attend. Keep an eye on our training calendar for those events and there is always the opportunity for you to Host us for a training event with other local churches in your area.

Church Security training isn't cheap, but it may be less expensive than you think. There are a lot of variables involved. Pricing is directly correlated to what training you need, how many instructors we need to provide to achieve your goals, if ranges or facilities have to be rented, or special equipment must be provided.

We need to know more about your goals. Please fill out our Training Questionnaire to enable us to better understand your needs.

We can give you an honest evaluation of where you need to start, what you need to do next, and how best to create a sustainable training methodology to meet the needs of your campus as well as protect your volunteers, members, and guests.

We don't have "courses" for church security, but we do provide training opportunities in the form of modules and custom built training applications. What we find is most church security teams are operating with a limited budget and need to be realistic with their training goals. Everyone and every organization has a limited amount of resources whether it be time to train, fiscal resources to fund training, facilities to train at or in, etc.

What we see that works best is to set up a 1-2 day event and decide what are the most important things we can do first, or next. We can help you with those decisions based on where your team is based on previous (if any) training.

We can certainly recommend equipment whether it's medical equipment, radios, firearms, video, facility security, and more. We will recommend equipment that we know works well and in certain applications, we can recommend places to get it or installers who can install it.

We can also recommend how to train with your equipment in order to maximize the benefits of it. If you haven't trained realistically, then you really don't know that it works.

We can help you with several aspects of creating Standard Operating Procedures that would be beneficial to your campus, facility, staff, and membership.

Medical emergencies are the primary issues a church has to deal with. From simple incidents like fainting to critical incidents like stroke or heart attack, we can help train you to use the tools at your disposal to effect the best outcome possible.

We can train all sizes of church security teams. We see many times that smaller churches reach out in the community to other smaller churches and do a combined Hosting event. Sometimes the smaller church will send its team member to a location where are offering an open to the public event. On occasion smaller churches see the benefit of a private training event that is focused on their facility with only their team members.

We have seen a lot of churches use Brotherhood Mutual as an insurance company to indemnify their team.
