  • 1.  Mission Training Proposal

    Posted 13 days ago
    Due to the recent violence against House of Worship, our congregation is developing a training proposal.
    Our program outline is four parts
    1. having a policy (best fit) not By-laws
    2. Health & Safety Training
    3. Worst Case Scenario Training
    4. Serving Like Jesus

    Looking to see if any other congregations have already put something together that could be useful?

    Hi, Richard.

    We have a 2-sided laminated "Emergency Plan" sheet in several places in the church that lists emergency procedures (medical, threat of violence, power outage, etc.) The elders and ushers are re-trained on this every year or two. We also have emergency numbers posted in a couple places. In addition, we have voluntary AED and CPR training every couple years. If you want me to send you a digital version of the laminated sheet, reach out to me.

    I have also found resources online (search "church emergency preparedness plan" or the like) that have a lot more detail than the what is mentioned above.

    Bill L,

    I would love if you would share this information, our church has a security policy that we are getting ready to update. This information could be useful to us. Thank you so much.

    Hello. I am attaching the pptx and pdf versions of the aforementioned emergency preparedness file so you can edit as you see fit. Sorry to post this to the whole group - I could not find a way to reply only to Richard and Lynette.
    In Him,

    Bill,

    This is very timely as our insurance company is asking for a building security policy. I would appreciate receiving a copy of your laminated sheet as well as links to any websites/resources you think may be helpful.
