FALLBROOK, Calif., Feb. 16 /Christian Newswire/ -- The latest incident of church violence occurred this weekend in Richmond, California. Three hooded subjects entered the church during services and shot two teens in front of more than one-hundred church goers. In response to an alarming increase of violence in places of worship, Sheepdog Ministries is offering a Church Safety and Security Seminar on "Keeping Your Congregation Safe in an Unsafe World". The seminar is being held on Saturday April 24, 2010 from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, at the Emmanuel Faith Community Church, 639 East Felicita Avenue, Escondido, California.
Violence is an ongoing epidemic and churches are not immune from the problem. Incidents of violence at places of worship are occurring at an alarming rate and their frequency will increase. As Christians we are often reluctant to act against violence, for we rely on our faith to guide and protect us. The bible tells us in Nehemiah 4:17, "Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded themselves so that with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a weapon." As Christians we can continue to build while protecting ourselves by using a common sense approach to church safety and security.
When addressing the issue of violence in a church, it is important to remember that active shooter scenarios are just one aspect of church security. Issues such as starting a church safety team, disruptive individuals, building security, parking lot safety, money escorts, emergency action plans and children's ministry safety are some of the many aspects that churches need to address in order to provide a safe environment for their worshipers.
The Church Safety and Security Seminar will address all aspects of church safety and security, in a comprehensive, standardized and common sense approach, that will focus on "Protecting the flock", "Protecting the lambs" and "Protecting the pasture", while never losing sight of our Christian purpose.
Sheepdog Ministries is a Christ centered security and consultation church ministry created by two current Christian law enforcement officers with over thirty years of combined police experience in Southern California. Our focus is to provide security consulting and training for church settings, including mentoring of church security ministries.
