Our Founding Scripture
Chronicles 9:21
21
And later
Zechariah son of Meshelemiah had been responsible for
guarding the entrance of the tabernacle.
22
In all, there were 212 gatekeepers in those days, and they
were listed by genealogies in their villages. David
and Samuel the seer had appointed their ancestors because
they were reliable men.
23
These gatekeepers and their descendants, by their divisions,
were responsible for guarding the entrance to the house of
the LORD, the house that was formerly a tent.
24
The gatekeepers were stationed on all four sides—east, west,
north, and south. |

What attendees are saying
about our conferences:
Good afternoon Chuck,
I just wanted to tell you thank you for a priceless weekend! The
take away I had from your conference was eye opening and motivating.
I have to tell you every aspect of the conference was perfect. The
selection of speakers, the topics, times, breaks, food, flow and
presentation were FIRST class! GREAT JOB!!!
“I realize now security and safety are NOT a “place” you ever arrive
at; but rather a continued “journey” of constant changing
environments and elements that are filled with unexpected people and
situations. Thus journeys require planning, preparation and
provision to keep you from being lost and stranded.”
Brian Ulch

Chuck,
I had a great time at the conference
over the last two days. I learned a lot and it also very thought
provoking. I appreciate all the time you and the other speakers took
to address your topics and answer our question both during and after
your presentations. I am armed with a lot of notes, questions,
issues and concerns I need to discuss with the church staff, our
insurance company and lawyer. I see a lot of work and challenges
head, but I feel more equipped to prepare and handle them. Again, I
would like to take this time to thank you, your organization and
Covenant Church for sponsoring and hosting this conference.
Your Brother in Christ,
Don Bloom

Hey Chuck,
First thanks for putting together such
an informative conference. Lots of stuff, I hadn't even considered
before.
Thanks again,
Mike Hoff
Compass Christian Church
Hey
Chuck,
Would like to thank you for the wonderful conference I've been
privileged to attend. I'm still trying to digest all the information
we've been exposed to. We know that it's not if, but when the skills
you've shown us will be needed.
Thank you sir, you are a blessing!
Best Regards, and God Bless
Dwight Moore
Faith Fellowship Church
Dear Chuck,
I first want to thank you for an awesome
conference on church security. If I didn't get anything else out of
it, it would be that I have a lot to learn. I do not think people
realize the enormous need for security in our places of Worship.
Again, thank you for a very informative conference.
In His Service,
David Bauder
