Securing Church Operations is a seven-step plan for ministry and safety leaders. If you are just starting a church security 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. Hurdles 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 church environment but secure your operations. The topics covered in this book include security culture, forming a safety committee, protecting your perimeter, conducting a security risk assessment, emergency action planning, training staff and volunteers, and implementing a church security team. The Author, Simon Osamoh was head of counterterrorism at Mall of America, Minnesota when a local church asked for his help building a safety program. As a 20-year security practitioner and a Christian, helping this church sparked a passion to go on to help hundreds of churches across America build security programs. In Securing Church Operations he shares over a decade of best practice teaching safety and security methodology from a biblical perspective. Foreword by his dear friend Carl Chinn the Founder of the Faith Based Security Network.
