Strengthening Ministry Security Across the Western United States Nevada • California • Oregon • Idaho • Utah • Arizona

Church security is more than policies, procedures, and equipment. It is a ministry built on stewardship, preparation, and a commitment to protecting those entrusted to our care.

Join the Faith Based Security Network (FBSN) for two days of practical training, professional development, and meaningful connections with fellow ministry security professionals from across the western United States. Whether you are establishing a church security program, strengthening an existing team, or leading a ministry with complex security needs, this conference is designed to equip you with the knowledge, resources, and relationships needed to serve your ministry well.

Learn From Those Who Know Ministry Security

There are many voices offering advice about church security, but not all have firsthand experience serving in faith-based environments. FBSN believes the best instruction comes from those who have experienced what they teach. Our conferences bring together seasoned security professionals, experienced ministry leaders, law enforcement personnel, and individuals who have firsthand knowledge of critical incidents. Over two days, attendees will explore the principles and practical applications of effective church security, from understanding why security matters to implementing how it should be done.

More Than Training. A Network of Professionals.

Effective ministry security requires more than individual knowledge. It depends on relationships, shared experiences, sound judgment, and a willingness to learn from others. This conference offers an opportunity to connect with fellow church security directors, volunteers, pastors, ministry leaders, law enforcement officers, and first responders who share a commitment to protecting faith communities. Come prepared to learn. Leave better equipped to serve.

Who Should Attend?

Church security directors, team leaders, and volunteers Pastors, ministry leaders, and church administrators Law enforcement officers and first responders Those developing or improving a church safety and security program Professionals serving faith-based organizations

Two days. Experienced instructors. Practical knowledge. Professional relationships that extend well beyond the conference.

Join us February 5–6, 2027, as we work together to strengthen ministry security throughout Nevada, California, and the western United States.

READY. WILLING. ABLE.
