Church Security Talk

ep.91 From Fear to Preparedness: Building Realistic Church Security Plans


Listen Later

Too many churches prepare for the wrong threats, and miss the risks right at their doorstep.

In this episode, we talk with Cristin Kinman from Allegion about shifting the church security conversation from fear-based scenarios to preparedness that truly saves lives. You’ll learn why ranking risks accurately matters, how to tackle security one small step at a time, and the overlooked threats most congregations face. Whether it’s property crime, severe weather, or child safety, you’ll get practical, low-cost strategies to protect your house of worship.

What You Will Learn in This Episode:

  • How to rank your risks so you prepare for the most likely, not just the most frightening threats.
  • The four pillars of effective security: policies, procedures, training, and compliance.
  • Why small, consistent actions (like securing doors or controlling keys) create a strong security foundation.
  • Join us for the 10th Annual Securing Your Place of Worship Conference, happening Tuesday, September 9, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM (CST). Learn more here.
