Show notes

Many churches are approaching budget season. As church leaders we understand the importance of security in a revitalization but we have questions about the cost and how to pay for the needed security.

Develop a security plan.

Never neglect the kids.

Never neglect background checks.

Get affordable cameras.

Ask law enforcement to volunteer (and bring their police car if possible)

Monitor the area, especially during worship services.
