Protect Your Church: Active Shooter & Emergency Training for Churches

In today’s world, safety has become one of the most important concerns for churches and faith-based organizations. A place meant to be a refuge should also be a place of preparedness. At Mountaineer Dynamics Institute (MDI), we offer specialized Church Security Training to ensure that your congregation is not only spiritually protected, but also physically safe.

Why Church Security Training Matters

Unfortunately, houses of worship have become targets for violence in recent years. Whether it’s an active threat scenario, a medical emergency, or a suspicious individual on campus, being prepared can mean the difference between chaos and control. Our training empowers churches to build confidence, resilience, and the ability to respond effectively to emergencies.

What Our Training Covers

Handgun Course 1 – Handgun Basics: Ensure every team member is safe, knowledgeable, and confident with handgun fundamentals.

Handgun Course 2 – Conceal Carry & Use-of-Force Legalities: Learn when and how force may lawfully be used. This course covers concealed carry laws, proper threat response, and how to keep your church and team legally protected.

Handgun Course 3 – Advanced Handgun & Scenario Drills: Develop advanced handling and live-fire skills through drills that simulate realistic security situations your team may face.

Countering a Mass Shooter: Hands-on classroom and scenario-based drills using SIRT (laser training pistols) inside your own church. We design realistic response plans based on your layout and congregation events.

Emergency Preparedness: Prepare your church for natural disasters, accidents, and civil unrest with a safety plan tailored to your facilities and congregation.

Emergency First Aid (Trauma-Focused): Train for traumatic injuries that may follow an attack. Learn wound packing, chest seals, tourniquet use, and triage for mass-casualty events so your team can save lives until EMS arrives.

Additional Topics Covered

• Custom Response & Security Plans: We help create written response and security plans tailored to your church’s layout, congregation size, and specific needs.

• Team Communication Protocols: Learn effective communication strategies using earpieces and radios for fast, discreet coordination during services and events.

• Concealment Policy & Training: Most churches prefer their security team to blend in. We teach safe and effective techniques for drawing from concealment under stress.

• Team Vetting & Standards: Experience isn’t enough. We recommend formal training, documented proficiency, and clear standards for every team member to ensure professionalism and safety.

All training is customized and tailored to your church’s needs. We work directly with each congregation to build a security plan and team that fits your layout, culture, and level of readiness. Our goal is to help your church develop the right plan, the right people, and the right preparation.
