Securing Church Operations: A Seven Step Plan for Ministry and Safety Leaders Simon C Osamoh

Simon Osamoh was overseeing counterterrorism at Mall of America in Minnesota in 2012 when a local church asked for his help building a safety program. As a 20-year security practitioner and a Christian, helping this church created a passion to help hundreds of churches across America to build safety programs. Securing Church Operations is a seven-step plan for ministry and safety leaders, taught across many different faith denominations. Simon shares his years of best practice teaching safety and security methodology from a biblical perspective. If you are just starting a safety program or have had one established for many years, the seven steps will encourage and engage you to look deeper into the governance and accountability of your church operations, no matter the size of your church. Factors such as culture, environment, beliefs, and denial are some of the things that are challenging to govern in security ministry. The seven steps provide the answer in how to maintain an open and welcoming environment but secure your church operations. Topics covered in this book are security culture, forming a safety committee, protecting your perimeter, conducting a security assessment, writing policy and procedures, training staff and volunteers, and implementing a safety team.
