Church Security Answer Man

  What I want to discuss today is the idea of being a team…..everyone in your ministry being on the “security team”.    If we are going to truly protect your ministry everyone has to be trained and be eyes and ears and part of the plan to protect.     The reason for this is, that problems do not often times just appear one time.  In fact some of the worst problems like violence or predators, may in fact grow over time as a problem.   The issues such as predators of your children my scope out your facility, ministries and personnel, so we all have to be part of that team looking for those things growing or evaluating you to prey on you and your ministry.   So everyone has a part and needs to be involved to one degree or another.  Office staff are not trained to respond to service interruptions on Sundays, but they are trained to be aware of things going on during their duty times maybe Monday through Friday.   They may notice someone in crisis starting to hang around the church and can alert you to this fact.
