We surveyed active church security teams before building a single feature. What they told us became ChurchGuard — the only platform built specifically from what real church safety teams said they actually need.

Every number below comes from our March 2026 survey of active church security teams — real gaps they live with every Sunday.
More than half of surveyed teams cited not having enough people in the right places as their top Sunday struggle. Most scramble coverage through verbal calls mid-service.
71% of teams rated silent, instant communication as "Very Valuable" or "Essential." Radio chatter during a service creates visible panic before a threat is even confirmed.
Nearly half had no completed Emergency Response Plan. "In progress" means a document sitting in a folder — not accessible on a Sunday morning when something happens.
87% said having training records, documents, and plans in one system would be helpful. Most currently manage records across paper binders, group texts, and spreadsheets.
Assign team members to zones before service starts. See live positioning on an interactive floor plan. When something happens, you know exactly who is nearest.
Radio traffic during a service signals something is wrong before leadership can respond. ChurchGuard's silent alert system broadcasts to your full team, individual members, or a specific zone — no sound, no chatter.
Insurance carriers and denominational bodies increasingly require documented training records. ChurchGuard tracks certifications, drill participation, and expiration dates — so when your insurer asks, the records are already there.
A binder in the office is not accessible at 10:52 on a Sunday morning. ChurchGuard puts your facility-specific protocols on every team member's phone — step-by-step, searchable, and 100% offline.
Every plan starts with an RSG facility assessment — your campus layout, team structure, and threat profile built in before your team ever opens the app.

For smaller churches building their first formal safety team — up to 10 members.
Full platform for active church safety teams — up to 25 members.
Multiple campuses, large volunteer teams, or denominational rollout.
Time management for certified training — lots of safety training takes lots of time.
The knowledge to know what to do and not panic. When something happens, people freeze because they've never walked through it. That's the whole problem.
Adequate personnel shortage — over reliance on Safety Coordinator.
ChurchGuard setup begins with an RSG facility assessment. Your campus layout, your team structure, your threat profile — built into the platform before your team opens the app for the first time.
