One of the most important steps in church safety and security is being aware of potential risks in order to address gaps. As part of our continued resourcing, we would encourage your church to review websites about church safety. Brotherhood Mutual offers online webinars covering a number of security challenges, such as how to start building a church security team. These pre-recorded events are available to watch anytime without charge.
In addition, there are a number of checklists developed to identify those security or safety gaps and minimize risk.
