ChurchSafety

Safety & Security should be key elements of a church being a Good Steward of what the Lord provides & guides to it, both in the physical assets such as the building & improvements, the personal assets in the pastor & staff as well as the new Believers. The Bible tells us taht the Shepherd is there to protect, guide and provide for his flock and having a plan in place, having teams to implement the plan and having the teams and membmers practice the plan is the only true assurance that you are prepared. Some say the lack of safety security planning is due to limited funds and the economy but since the church members can probably bring most of the training, experiences and skills, this should not be a reason not to have a plan & be prepared for a emergency. The recent announcement that Church Security Network has cloaed due to a lack of support from churches is a sad example of the importance placed on safety security. A disaster, emergency or attack doesn't wait, they just show up.
