This page is to help churches to better understand how they can keep their physical property and members/parishioners/visitors safe.

​

CISA, the Cybersecurity Infrastructure & Security Agency, has an entire webpage that is dedicated to the physical security of houses of worship. 

​

Churches should be aware that they can use all of the resources that CISA provides, free of charge. CISA provides very high quality and well thought out information about both physical security and cybersecurity.

​

CISA also has made available to churches, and all houses of worship, a comprehensive, online, security self-assessment tool. We at churchstrength.org recommend that you or someone at your church takes the time to completely fill out the security self assessment and take necessary steps to increase the physical security of your church and its members/parishioners.
