The Challenges of Safety for Churches

John 15: 12-13

“This is my commandment, that you love one another just as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.”

Who in your church will lay down their life for those in the church family? This is a challenge from our Savior for church leaders, teachers, and His servants. An INTENTIONAL safety plan begins with those who are willing to help others and a desire to do this effectively. INTENTIONAL safety takes a holistic approach to examining safety and how we can prevent or deal with accidents and incidents in or near the church.

How do we prevent tragedies? Can better planning and training people who step up to think about these challenges to prevent a tragedy? We may not be able to stop all incidents, but preventing them is a worthwhile goal for believers.

Church safety is accomplished through teams of people who love Jesus and obey Him to serve the needs of others. The requirements are belief in Jesus, LOVE, and a life dedicated to serving the church family.
