Description

This course is essential for anyone on an armed church security ministry team. The armed church security ministry team member plays a much different role than a CCW carrier. Learn how to communicate and work with a partner. Carrying a gun in church has it's own unique challenges that we must be aware of and work through. We believe that there is no more important role in the church that you can be asked to fill than to be on your church's safety and security ministry team. Let us help you prepare for that role. A CCW permit is required for this course.
