I’d add a “no trespassing” sign and a camera system with communication capabilities so you can inform them that the church has a no trespassing policy and that “police are en route to assist them with any needs they may have”. Here’s the thing, as believers we have to love “the least of these” but that doesn’t mean we have to bend to their every want. The goal of a Church Security ministry should be to create a community that is safe and inviting. Along with the no trespassing signs you may want to ensure you have signs posted regarding any benevolence ministries, such as a free clothes closet or food pantry, that your church provides.

It is completely legal in every state to meet force with force. Whenever possible, walk away, run away, negotiate, apologize, escape if you can, do everything you can! However, if you find yourself in a violent altercation, there is no time to call 911. There’s likely no time to get your phone out of your pocket. That’s what this video is all about. More contacts you may want to watch the whole episode that this clip was taken from.

This is based on training at the Federal Level. It’s been tested and proven.

What’s confusing?

I’m so glad you found some value here. 🙏

Thanks so much for the encouragement. 🙏

Not every internal monologue is the Holy Spirit but that also doesn’t disqualify every voice we hear from being the Holy Spirit.

@@LeadChurchSecurity any evidence for that?
