In recent years we’ve seen numerous stories on the news about pastors being attacked, shot and killed on church property.  People vandalizing the church and defacing church property.  Church members being stalked and medical emergencies.

An ideal security team includes more than policing your property and protecting ministers and members.  A full service security team should include:

  • Proactive approach to dealing with violence
  • Theft of church property or members property
  • Plan to deal with vandalism
  • Medical team on standby – members who are doctors, nurses, paramedics

What kind of plan has your church put in place?  It doesn’t have to be elaborate, but you should have a plan.  Your local police department can be of assistance.
