CHURCH SAFETY TEAM TRAINING
FAITH BASED SAFETY TRAINING
From church leadership and staff to ushers and volunteers, the entire Body of Christ has a responsibility for ensuring the safety of the church. Unless faith-based organizations honor this covenant, they will not be able to create a safe and secure environment for people to grow in their faith.
A13 Tactics is an organization dedicated to serving God and sharing His love with everyone. To accomplish this, we equip churches with safety training services rooted in ministry, ensuring that every individual is safe from harm, regardless of their beliefs.

We can assist you with establishing a safety and security program that is both strategically sound and spiritually focused.

PURSUING GOD'S CALLING
OUR MISSION
At A13Tactics, we believe that ensuring the safety and security of your church is more than just a responsibility; it is a divine calling. As members of the faith community, we are guided by the principles of protection, service, and love. Our Church Security training program is designed to empower you and your team to fulfill this sacred duty with confidence and competence.
The Spiritual Mandate
In scripture, we are reminded of the importance of vigilance and guardianship. Proverbs 27:12 says, "The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty." This verse underscores the necessity of being prepared and proactive in safeguarding our congregations. By pursuing church security training, you are answering a spiritual call to protect and serve your faith community.
Building a Safe Haven
Churches are sanctuaries of peace, worship, and fellowship. However, in today's world, ensuring that these spaces remain safe requires knowledge, preparation, and a well-coordinated effort. Our training provides you with the tools and skills needed to create and maintain a secure environment where faith can flourish without fear. From risk assessment and emergency response to understanding the nuances of church-specific security concerns, we cover all aspects to help you build a resilient safety plan.
Empowering the Faithful
Our program is not just about imparting technical skills; it is about empowering the faithful to take ownership of their church's safety. We focus on fostering a spirit of teamwork, leadership, and responsibility within your security team. Each member learns to operate with a sense of duty and compassion, ensuring that the security measures are both effective and respectful of the sanctity of the church environment.
Honoring God Through Service
By engaging in church security training, you are honoring God through service. You are ensuring that His house remains a safe place for worship, ministry, and community. This commitment reflects the highest form of stewardship, where you are not only protecting the physical well-being of your congregation but also safeguarding their spiritual journey. Isaiah 41:10 offers comfort and assurance in this mission: "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Leadership Rooted in Experience
Andrew McDowell, founder of A13Tactics, brings a wealth of personal experience to our training programs. Currently serving as the lead security coordinator at Discover Life Church in Sikeston, MO, Andrew understands the unique challenges faced by church security teams. He has led and coordinated security teams for events like Night to Shine Semo and provided personal detail for artists like Mac Powell in concert. With A13Tactics, you're gaining a dedicated partner who knows the intricacies of church security rooted in ministry, ensuring your team is prepared for any situation.
