Church Security and Intruder Response Training
Friday 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Saturday 8:00 am - 2:30 pm
"...this was the best presented, laid out, and structured program I have ever seen for teaching people at various experience and skill levels how to de-escalate high-stress situations and progressively escalate their response to adapt to greater threats. The best group I have ever worked with for teaching with the understanding of the needs of ministry and security, by leaps and bounds." - Michael Exendine, Strategos Training Attendee
Many churches have taken comfort in the thought that “it could never happen here.” But headlines and a steadily-growing body of statistical evidence demonstrate that violence in faith-based organizations is not an if, but a when.
The Church Security Planning and Intruder Awareness training will equip your staff and key volunteers to create a personalized security plan that protects your congregation while maintaining a welcoming environment.
You can choose from a 1 or 2-day option, but both days are recommended and the subjects interrelate.
Day 1 Overview: Church Security Planning
At the end of the day, you’ll be thoroughly equipped to begin (or re-launch or improve) your church security ministry. Each participant will leave with a comprehensive, practical 75-page workbook.
Who should attend?
Pastors, church staff, administrators and facility managers, children and student ministry directors, security team members, deacons.
Recommended: Bring note-taking materials.
We’ll address key topics including:
• Intruder response
• Lockdown
• Offering collection, protection, and transport
• Nursery security
• Medical response
• Volunteer selection
• Armed vs. unarmed security
• Protecting the pastor
• The role of ushers and greeters
Day 2 Overview: Intruder Awareness/Response and Conflict Management
Who should attend?
Ushers, greeters, church leaders, security volunteers, deacons and other staff and volunteers in frequent contact with congregation and visitors. Recommended: Bring note-taking materials.
Equip and empower your frontline team (security volunteers, ushers, greeters) to spot and stop trouble before it starts. This training helps team members identi
