National Church Security Through Physical Prevention

We believe that Physical Church Security is best accomplished through prevention.  Contrary to the prevailing attitude in the developing field of church security, we believe that you should not focus most of your energy on ways to handle an active shooting or critical incident.  Instead, we believe you should be prepared to handle emergencies such as shootings or critical incidents, but focus your energy on preventing incidents and accidents from occurring in the first place. 
 
All of our services for maintaining and enhancing physical church security are designed to prevent accidents, injuries, disturbances, disruption and violent events from ever occurring at your church or ministry.

Comprehensive Church Security Threat Assessment:

James 1:19 says that we should be quick to listen and slow to speak. We at CV Ministries work to practice that in all our interactions with others, including when we are doing an assessment of your church or ministry. In order for us to correctly understand your situation and needs, we listen to you while we are assessing your facilities, personnel practices, policies, procedures, and the practices of those that participate in ministries at your facilities.
  • Meeting with your pastor or CEO and church or ministry leadership so we better understand your church or ministry and how it functions
  • Assessment of your facility/buildings
  • Assessment of existing safety and security practices
  • Assessment of areas or practices that may introduce risk
  • Assessment of policy and procedures
  • Review of any incidents that have occurred
  • Assessment of insurance coverage
  • Far more other aspects to list......
Following the assessment, a comprehensive report will be provided with potential solutions and how CV Ministries can partner with you in the solution process. We work with you in finalizing the report to ensure accuracy and to make practical recommendations that you can implement immediately. Our report size will vary depending on the size of your church or ministry, but is often 25 or more pages of helpful, important information.

Creating a Safety Net: Training For Church Staff and Volunteers Verbal and Behavioral Skills for Identifying and Eliminating Risk

Church Security Training designed for ushers, church administrative assistants, Sunday School teachers, youth leaders, and others who are directly ministering to people at your church or ministry.  This training will provide you with the skills necessary to identify those who may be a risk, as well as with critical verbal de-escalation skills.  Along with the verbal skills, it is equally important that you project the correct attitudes and behaviors that will assist you in identifying and eliminating potential risks.
"Dan is great to work with, patient with us, and definitely knows his subject matter." - Tim C

Policy and Procedure Development:

Policies and procedures are the foundation that guide how a church or ministry operates. Policies and procedures are the guiding direction on what to do and how to do it. Developing good policies and procedures will not only give the people the necessary direction, but also help protect the church in the event of an emergency that could lead to legal action. Some of the areas that CorrValues will assist in the development of quality policies and Procedures are:

  • Facility Operations
  • Staff Responsibility
  • Safety and Security of Children
  • Usher Responsibility
  • Greeter Responsibility
  • Safety and Security Team
  • Many More...
