FBI Warns of Impending Terrorist Attacks: Is Your Church Prepared?

In a recent warning, FBI Director Christopher Wray highlighted the elevated threat levels to public safety and national security, emphasizing the need for increased vigilance among churches and synagogues. Given the gravity of these threats, it is crucial for religious institutions to take proactive steps in safeguarding their congregations. Here, I discuss the key points from Wray's testimony and offer actionable advice for enhancing church security.

I make Christian Warrior Training and this newsletter free for everyone to strengthen and protect Christians everywhere. To support my work, consider a paid subscription if you are in a position to. Either way, this and our training will always be free.

The Current Threat Landscape

During his testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee, Wray described the current threat environment as unprecedented, with multiple terrorist groups, including ISIS and Shia militants, posing significant risks. The FBI has successfully disrupted numerous plots, but the details are often kept confidential for operational security. This secrecy should not undermine the seriousness of the threats.

Establish a Safety Team Now if You Haven’t Already

One of the most effective measures a church can take is to establish a safety team. This team should be well-trained and visible to act as a deterrent to potential attackers. I offer resources and training at Christian Warrior Training to help churches set up their safety teams effectively. It's essential not to create a bunker mentality; instead, keep the church open and welcoming while ensuring robust security measures are in place.

Enhancing Physical Security

Investing in state-of-the-art surveillance systems, such as 4K cameras capable of capturing clear images and license plates, is vital. However, there are also cost-free measures that can significantly enhance security:

  • Lock unused doors: Ensure that all perimeter doors not in use during services are locked and monitored.

  • Visible safety team members: Position safety team members at all entrances to monitor and greet attendees.

  • Perimeter security: Have team members or trained parking lot attendants watch for suspicious activity outside the church.

Active Shooter Training

Conducting regular active shooter training for both the safety team and the congregation is crucial. This training should be inclusive, involving as many volunteers as possible to simulate realistic scenarios. Such exercises not only prepare the safety team but also educate the congregation on how to respond in an emergency, whether it occurs at church or elsewhere.

Maintaining an Open and Caring Environment

While security is paramount, it's equally important to maintain an open and caring environment. Monitor suspicious individuals discreetly without immediately resorting to exclusion. Many people dealing with PTSD or anxiety may exhibit unusual behavior but pose no threat. Always approach such situations with compassion and vigilance.

Conclusion

In light of the heightened threat levels, it is imperative for churches to enhance their security measures while maintaining an open and welcoming environment. Establish a dedicated safety team, invest in surveillance, conduct active shooter training, and foster a caring atmosphere. By taking these steps, churches can better protect their congregations and ensure a safe space for worship.
