Stand watchas oneteam.
Vigilant Church Security keeps schedules, communication, equipment, checklists, incidents, and procedures in good order for the people serving every weekend.
[ Our mission ]
To empower churches everywhere with the tools to keep their people safe, unified, and ready.
Today's church security teams carry more weight than ever. Vigilant helps teams move from scattered spreadsheets, text chains, and paper forms into one ordered place for serving well.
Chasing shift confirmations eats up your week
Manual follow-ups, unanswered texts, last-minute no-shows.
Paper incident reports never get finished or shared
Critical information gets lost, never reaching leadership or other campuses.
When something happens at one campus, others never know
Each location operates in a silo. No shared awareness, no unified response.
You didn't sign up to manage spreadsheets. You signed up to protect God's people.

Coming Soon!Vigilant Church Security Mobile Apps
Put shift readiness, incident response, team communication, and operational checklists in every team member's pocket.
The Vigilant Church Security mobile apps help church security teams stay connected and ready from anywhere on campus. Team members can see their next shift, check in, respond to incidents, complete checklists, review BOLO alerts, message teammates, manage equipment, and receive timely push notifications from a native iOS or Android experience while the web app remains available for deeper administration and reporting.
