Current Threat Information: What Church Security Teams Should Be Watching This October

What are you watching right now to prepare your church for the threats you may face?

The threat environment facing houses of worship is constantly changing. International events, online propaganda, social media activity, emerging narratives, and the tactics used by threat actors can all influence what happens in our communities.

That is why current threat information matters.

In this FBSN threat information video, Patrick Cumba joins us to discuss what church security teams should be watching this October—including the significance of symbolic dates, online propaganda and influence, evolving threat narratives, and what security teams can do to remain prepared without creating unnecessary fear.

Watch the Current Threat Information Video

FBSN members can watch the full video on our secure members-only forum: FBSN Restricted Access Videos

Members can also access the Current Threat Information Special Interest Group on the FBSN forum. From there, vetted members will have access to a link to join a Signal messaging group, where we can share current threat information and updates more immediately, see the current threat information signal group or the FBSN Restricted Access Videos page for a link to join that. 

This provides another way for FBSN members to stay connected as information develops.

Important: These resources are restricted to vetted FBSN members. The links to the secure video, Current Threat Information Special Interest Group, and Signal group are not intended for public distribution and will only work for eligible FBSN members.

Why Keep Some Information Within a Vetted Network?

Not every piece of security information belongs on a public platform.

Church security professionals need places where they can exchange information, discuss current concerns, learn from one another, and share resources without broadcasting every detail to the same public audience—including people who may be looking for weaknesses in our security practices.

FBSN has built that professional network.

With members serving ministries across the country, FBSN provides opportunities to connect with other church security professionals, share experience and resources, participate in special-interest groups, access training, and stay connected to current issues affecting faith-based security.

If you're responsible for the safety and security of a church or ministry, you shouldn't have to navigate that responsibility alone.

The information you need to prepare your team may not always be found on a public social media feed.

Stay connected. Stay informed. Build relationships with professionals who understand the mission.
