Houses of Worship

Congregations deserve the same rigor as any protected facility.

Your building is open by design: welcoming, accessible, and often unstaffed at the door. That openness is exactly what a security assessment needs to account for, without changing who you are as a community.

Why It Matters

Houses of worship face a distinct security profile: predictable schedules, open-door policy, and often no dedicated security staff. A physical security assessment identifies where those realities create risk and what's reasonable to change.

Common Concerns

What congregations bring to us

Every facility is different, but most conversations start in one of these places.

Entry Points

Unmonitored access

Multiple doors, service times with high foot traffic, and no consistent way to know who's on the property.

Grounds

Parking & perimeter

Large lots, low lighting, and sightlines that make it hard to notice something before it becomes a problem.

Response

No response plan

Staff and volunteers who want to help in an emergency but have never been given a plan to follow.

Events

High-attendance services

Holidays and special events that draw larger crowds than your regular security posture is built for.

Volunteers

Untrained greeters & ushers

Well-meaning volunteers stationed at entrances with no training on what to watch for.

Budget

Limited security budget

A need to prioritize: knowing what actually reduces risk versus what just feels like it does.
