The Church Security Team Leader: A Biblical Guide to Building, Training, and Leading Your Team
Product Information
Product Description
You have been handed a serious responsibility. Someone in your church has asked you to lead the security team, or build one, or fix one that is not working. This book is the resource that should have come with that assignment.The Church Security Leader is a complete, biblically grounded guide to every dimension of church security leadership. Not the tactical elements that get most of the attention, but the leadership elements that determine whether a security program ever becomes something the congregation can actually depend on.Written by a retired Police Sergeant with twenty-nine years of law enforcement experience, including service as a SWAT sniper team leader, narcotics detective, and law enforcement trainer, Keith Graves addresses the subjects that other church security resources leave out entirely:How to build a team structure that functions under pressureHow to screen and onboard volunteers using a biblical character frameworkHow to handle the problem volunteer that every team eventually encountersHow to navigate the pastoral relationship when the pastor is disengagedHow to build and defend a budget in ministry languageHow to develop the next generation of leaders before you need themThe legal framework every team leader must understand, including negligence liability and citizen's arrest authorityWhat leniency bias costs a security program and how to resist it as a Christian leaderEvery chapter is grounded in Scripture. Nehemiah builds the framework. Titus 1 sets the character standard. Matthew 18 governs the discipline process. Ezekiel 33 establishes the accountability that every watchman carries. The biblical authority for this work is not decorative. It is the foundation on which every operational principle in this book rests.Whether you are building a team from scratch, inheriting one that needs to be rebuilt, or leading a program that has been running for years without a solid framework underneath it, this book gives you the complete leadership infrastructure your congregation deserves.
