SAFETY AND THE STEEPLE:

NATIONAL CHURCH SAFETY AND SECURITY MONTH


National Church Safety and Security Month is a dedicated period in October focused on raising awareness and promoting best practices for safety and security within places of worship across the United States. The event is spearheaded by the National Organization of Church Security and Safety Management (NOCSSM), a leading advocate for protecting religious congregations. This observance was first introduced in 2010, recognizing the growing need to address security concerns in churches and other religious institutions.

Church safety has become a critical issue due to the increasing number of incidents that threaten the sanctity and security of worship spaces. These incidents include everything from acts of violence, such as shootings, to natural disasters, theft, and vandalism. The rise in such occurrences has underscored the vulnerability of religious institutions and the need for comprehensive security measures.
The types of issues impacting church security are varied. They range from physical security challenges, like controlling access to church premises and protecting congregants during services, to cybersecurity concerns, as many churches rely on digital platforms for communication and operations. Additionally, emergency preparedness, including the ability to respond to natural disasters and health emergencies, has become a key focus during National Church Safety and Security Month.

The history of this event reflects a broader awareness of the need for proactive measures to ensure that places of worship remain safe havens for their communities. By dedicating a month to church safety, organizers aim to provide churches with the tools, training, and resources necessary to address their unique security challenges. This initiative also fosters a culture of vigilance and preparedness among church leaders and congregants alike, reinforcing the importance of safety in the practice of faith.
