Thom and Sam discuss five trends they see in churches with under 250 in attendance.

1. More church leaders are seeking conversion growth.

2. Discouragement is still pervasive.

3. Demographics are moving in favor of many of these churches.

4. The big challenge is changing to reach both the existing and new communities.

5. Too many leaders are unaware of the church’s deferred maintenance.

There are several reasons why security is critical at our church. First and foremost, it helps to prevent potential harm to individuals on our property. This includes protecting against physical threats, such as violence or theft, as well as safeguarding against potential accidents or emergencies.

In addition to protecting against physical harm, security is also important for maintaining the integrity and reputation of our church. By having a secure environment, we can help to ensure that our church is a welcoming and safe place for all who visit. This can also help to prevent damage to our facilities or theft of valuable property.

Finally, security is essential for maintaining the trust and confidence of our members and the wider community. By demonstrating a commitment to safety, we can help to foster a sense of community and belonging within our church.

Our partner, Smart Church Solutions focuses on everything related to church facility management and has developed a free gift for your church relative to emergency preparedness. You can download that resource for free in the show notes or by going to www.smartchurchsolutions.com/security.
