A Vigilant Church, Is an Organized Church!

P

Paul

First and foremost, as a Christian, I have always strived to live my life as an example for others to follow. As a husband and father of three, I began serving on church security teams with a simple goal: to help watch over and protect my own children. After more than 20 years in software development, including much of my career at Microsoft, I saw firsthand that there was no comparable solution that truly met our team’s needs. That realization led me to develop the Vigilant Church Security platform.

TL;DR

Vigilant Church Security is a platform designed by and built for church security teams! After almost 17 years of serving on various church security teams, one thing that I learned is that the most effective teams are those that are the most organized.

Vigilant Church Security is a platform designed by and built for church security teams! After almost 17 years of serving on various church security teams, one thing that I learned is that the most effective teams are those that are the most organized teams. The more I observed this, the more I worked with my teams to further improve our organization and communication, and I have consistently seen God bless and grow our team and their dedication to serving him and their congregations.

But be sure that everything is done properly and in order - 1 Corinthians 14:40

God loves order and for our teams to be orderly. As we model this and show to our congregations that we display this order, others within our churches are eager to be a part of our church security teams. Churches that are disorganized often struggle to recruit and be effective at protecting their congregations.

Vigilant Church Security is one of the tools that we know will help you to be more organized as a team, and while it is only a tool, we pray that it will help you on your journey towards protecting your congregation.

Balancing Safety, Hospitality, and Visibility

Church security should be visible enough to reassure and deter threats, but not so forceful that it feels intimidating. Approachable uniforms, close coordination with greeters, mandatory security presence near children’s areas, discreet monitoring in the sanctuary, and prayer without ceasing.
